Their leaving is as rough on your system as menopause.
And nobody tells you that.
The hot flashes you can dress for and buy gyzmos to help.
But the she's leaving, she's leaving, she's leaving from the first college tour until dorm drop off? 😬
That's your body reacting to a real thing. Real loss.
Or let's say change.
Because you're not losing her.
You're losing how your life’s been shaped around this magnificent creature you couldn't love more…you’re losing the daily in person contact. Sharing meals and chores and the luxury of random comments and errands.
So you're not crazy or overreacting.
This is a huge change for everyone.
And you need to take care of yourself.
I've got ideas on what to do and questions that will curl your toes.
But I know you'll thank me in the end.
