Transitions For College Age Children

Transitions are a challenge to us all.

 I will never forget how surprisingly empty our home seemed after our oldest (Tom) went away to college.  

Our second son (Paul) came home to live for a while after college and I treasured every moment--I knew it was just a matter of time before he left, and now he's been gone from home for years and is getting married.

This time was hard on me but I think it was much harder on my wife.  Mothers' seem to take this transition, with its subsequent "empty nest," very hard.

• How are you coping with the changes that are occurring?
• What do you need help with?
• Who do you turn to for help?

Professional help can make this challenging transition smoother for both mom and dad.
