empty nest

Hi everybody,

I wonder what suggestions people have on overcoming pain of empty nest syndrom. My only daughter starts college in London UK (University of London). yeap. It was a long thought decision to go. She went a little earlier to settle before school year starts so she is already gone as of this week.


I am single and am close to my daughter. As she is to me. she is also close to her grandparents. We overall are a close family.

I do struggle with her being far away, I went to grocery shopping and had hard time not to cry loudly, it just hit me that I do not have a child at home anymore. Of course she will come here and I will go there, but she is not home anymore.

Awfully sad...I am a cry baby to begin with, but now my eyes are red all the time. Any suggestions on coping strategies?

Thank you
