Ugh! Our house feels so empty and I so alone. being a single parent we are very close. So many things around the house , I did for her. Little things , keeping things clean and orderly, food in the frig. many, many things, and I feel like now there’s no reason to do any of it. I know I’m depressed and it has been an awful, gut wrenching, crying week leading up to this day.
Lost my Mother only 8 months ago and still miss her terribly, was her caregiver for 5 years.
Glad I found this blog to write to.
Thanks

I lost my mother after she lived with us for eight years and I was her caregiver, and this year, our youngest finishes college, and she is the baby of four … and this summer is the first time I have experienced the empty nest syndrome …. I am so glad I found this article/link/blog, and I hope you will free to post again or write again, and let us know how you are doing. My sister got a little puppy, so for a few hours a day I watch her puppy while she is at work, and I have begun plans to help a friend start a soup kitchen … plus I have some work from home projects and needle projects I want to get busy with … my problem is just getting up and getting going … once I get out of bed, and stick to a very strict routine, I am fine … it is going to be okay, I will be thinking of you! Mary
