Hi Lynne

Your feelings are very normal so don't worry. It just takes time to re-adjust to not having the children at home. My 2 sons left home one after the other and I found it very difficult.

I would recommend getting involved in a supper or walking group on the forum as that was a lifesaver for me. I don't know how I filled the time before and it is great to have women to talk to who are going through the same things as me.

For a long time I found it difficult. For example I would meet up with my sons in town to go to the cinema and would be so shocked at the end of the evening when they went their separate ways. I was so used to them coming home with me.

Do feel free to PM me if you want to have a moan. I find that always helps
