About the Book
How to thrive after your kids (had the audacity to) leave home.
Can't decide between grief and delight? Caught between wanting to hold on to the past and trying to figure out where to start your nearly kid-free future? Empty-nesting can be a disorienting time, but it can also become the best season of your life if you'll let it. Jill Savage is an empty-nest mom who will guide you through this unpredictable season. She'll teach you what you need to let go of and what you need to hold onto during this new season of life--like letting go of guilt and holding on to new friendships or letting go of your child's problems and holding on to your marriage. You'll gain confidence and clarity in a disorienting time and have a laugh along the way.
Let go of mixed emotions and grab hold of your full life today.
