A Letter to the Mom with an Empty Nest

A Letter to the Mom with an Empty Nest

Hey Mama,

I myself do not have an empty nest and to tell you the truth, my mind can’t even fathom the idea of ever having an empty nest. But I know one day I will wake up to an empty nest and I will have to rediscover my purpose in this world. My hope for you is that as Mother’s Day rolls around your babies still honor and treasure all the things you have done for them over the years. Whether you know it or not you have impacted your child in many ways and you did the best you could through the many different seasons of motherhood. Find strength in knowing you accomplished the most important job within our society and raised a new generation. Keep in mind that although you may have an “empty nest” us kids will never stop needing our mama’s. I see it all the time in the way women lean on their mom’s as they begin the journey of motherhood or how men still crave their mom’s cooking.

If you find yourself with an empty nest and your babies living far away, I encourage you to lean on other mama’s with an empty nest and plan something fun. You dedicated your life to raising children and now it is time for you to rediscover who you are apart from your children. Embrace this new season with a fresh perspective!

Sincerely,

A Fellow Mama
