Welcome to the Forum Lynne.

Sure they are many of us to relate to that. I had plenty of experience of them travelling and uni, but now not married but living with their OH's, son in Staffford and daughter in Essex, me in Berks, it does feel really hard.

I find myself phoning way too often, well D at anyrate and have to stop myself so they can get on with their lives. D does come more than she should because she is worried about me for other reasons.

Others are right, you have to have a bit of a tearful time, then try and find some other interests, possibly doing some charity work, something for you too. Looking at the Lives forum can easily distract you. It was quiet today, but I haven't been on it for a while, so maybe people have been away.

Not much use to you, but at least you know others understand and there is always someone to have a moan to.........!!
