Hi friends,
Welcome back with another blog. In his blog let us see about empty nest syndrome and its effects. This syndrome can be seen in Parents. Parents get affected by this when their last child leaves home. Yes, from birth they nurture and care for you until you become independent. After you become independent and leave them, just think about their mentality of them. from then this syndrome starts and it becomes serious in some cases.
From birth, our parents are with us, they built an empire from our childhood of you. From you being newborn, infant, toddler, preschool and school-age. They just nurture you and care for you by knowing your likes, and dislikes, which are good and bad and everything. There is some difference between the father and mother. some fathers are always being away for work and they won't spend that much time with kids. So this syndrome much more affects the mothers.
Mothers are always with kids, and they just know and find everything in a fraction of a second what is her child up to. Being a mother of two I can find my kids with their talk and gaze that what they are up to and what would have they been.
After marrying the daughters and son leave the country to pursue their careers or want to live abroad with wife. This leads to parents being left alone at home. You may feel this is what happens at every home and it's nothing new. Just think about the mentality of parents and it will be. When you had a dog for a long time and suddenly you lose it by accident or it got missed. Then what will be your mentality of you at that time? Compared to this loss, every parent's loss is a much and difficult one.
It will become severe if the son or daughter doesn't care for their parents. For some parents to get cured of this it takes two years to recover. For some, they recover soon. But in some cases, they never recover. All the stress, emptiness, resentment etc increases further.
The best way to recover or cope with this syndrome is to make social connections, set goals for the future, seek professional help, take up a new hobby or a career, practice self-care, keep in touch with your children, and be positive.
Empty nest syndrome is normal, and you are not alone in this. Everyone faces. let's not leave our parents alone and make them suffer in old days. Be a pillar of strength.
