How to Survive and Thrive in an Empty Nest by Jeanette Lauer, Robert H. Lauer

From the Publisher

"Empty nest" is a rather bleak metaphor for a home in which the kids have "flown the coop." For many parents, this can be a time of conflicting emotions ranging from feelings of grief and loss to relief and even exhilaration. But as the authors point out, it is also a time for new beginnings, a time to build upon old relationships, to expand personal interests, and to set new directions for life. With frankness and sensitivity, How to Survive and Thrive in an Empty Nest offers a common-sense approach for using this opportunity for growth. A wealth of solid advice will help readers restructure their own family roles when coping with adult children returning home or when an aging parent requires care.
