I’m writing a book about the Empty Nest Experience, and I want you to be a part of it.

Empty Nest Experience is a normal developmental stage that adults go through when they launch their last child into the world – typically, when the last child goes off to college.  Empty Nest is a familiar term, but there has been surprisingly very little research on the topic.  At Palm Beach Atlantic University, we conducted a study and we are sharing our results and other research findings on this site. See the blog posts for my personal thoughts and what we learned from our research.  I am writing a book based on our study, but we need your stories to fill in the gaps and so that we can share our experiences with one another.  Share your stories – Click here – to share and read what others have said.  Finally, you can take the actual survey that we used in our research as we continue to collect data and learn more about the Empty Nest Experience.
