Publisher's Summary

Being an empty nester doesn’t have to be lonely. Here’s how to rediscover yourself and live a happy and meaningful life. Are you having a tough time accepting the fact that your child-rearing days are over and that your adult kid is now ready to live without you? Are you experiencing depression and feel like your relationship with your child will start to dwindle as they move out? Are you wondering about what you can do with the excess of unoccupied time you suddenly have now that you’re done with parenting? 

If these feelings resonate with you, you’re not alone! Many other empty nesters feel the same way as you do. Kids become independent when they grow up. It’s a fact that every parent has to live with—but don't lose heart! The empty nest phase is your time to live your life on your own terms and reclaim some independence for yourself. Having negative feelings at first is normal, but they don’t have to last. This guide is here to help you navigate these tough times and become stronger and happier whilst maintaining a close relationship with your adult child.

Helpful advice

I have listened to How to Survive the Empty Nest twice so far. First when suddenly sadness and guilt overwhelmed me. When I got over that and could think clearly, I listened to her book again. The second time I was able to look forward to the future and all the different things I could do. Pamela covered every possible circumstance and how to deal with it. I could relate to her story as she mentioned that she was a single parent in an empty house. I received a sense of hope and purpose after hearing her story and how she tried different things to survive. Pamela helped me to get over parenting guilt when she talked about how the generations before us made many parenting mistakes which are now seen as strange. I am very thankful for her book. It brings me hope and courage.
