Empty nest syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that refers to the feelings of sadness, grief, and loss experienced by parents when their children leave home to live independently.


It typically occurs when children reach adulthood and move out of the family home for reasons such as starting college, pursuing career opportunities, or getting married.


While experiencing empty nest syndrome is a normal response to a significant life transition, it's essential to address and manage these emotions in a healthy way.
