The House Feels Too Quiet: Coping With Empty Nest as Your Kids Launch

September 28, 2026

Somewhere around the third week of September, it hits a lot of parents at once: the house is quiet in a way it hasn’t been in eighteen years. No backpack by the door, no argument about curfew, no one to remind about a permission slip. If you’ve been quietly unsettled since your youngest (or your…

What follows is not ordinary grief, it is the disorientation of having…
