Turning sadness into opportunity
When I, the youngest kid in the family, left for college, my parents got a new puppy literally on the way home from dropping me off at school. They were having trouble with the idea of adjusting to a house with just them in it. I thought it was silly until it was my turn. That empty nest feeling can be daunting and heavy, and this book does a great job of reminding you with the challenging parts, there are even more potential positives that you can focus on. Listen to this book, recognize the power in your newfound time and chance to rediscover yourself, and enjoy.

Helps turn bitter into sweet.
I've never read (or listened) to a book quite like "Empty Nest, Open Sky" by Audrey Daric. It was a timely listen for me, since my kids are close to flying the coop. I think Daric's strength is her ability to turn a depressing prospect into something kind of exciting. In a way, she offers the listener to find a way back to the self that they may have ignored while parenting for two decades or more. It's a real confidence booster.
The audiobook itself is a mix of approaches. There's some personal stories that I found relatable. Daric also includes more "expert" advice on dealing with feelings of loss. I like the idea of seeing opportunity in the whole thing. It's a big change, so why not approach it like an adventure or apply a healthy dose of "growth mindset"?
The quality is there throughout the whole book, but a few sections stood out to me. Routine building and financial planning stuck out as eminently practical. However, I really got hit in the "feels" by the advice on relationships with adult children. That's a tough one, but I think Daric's advice is excellent. Shout out to the narration, too. It's an easy listen with a warm feeling. I think anyone facing an empty nest will appreciate the support and advice this well-made audiobook offers.

I wish we had this book years ago
We wish we had this book years ago when our only child moved out. The transition was tougher than we expected, and we struggled to fill our time and rediscover our passions. It's full of practical advice on self-care, finding new adventures, and maintaining relationships with adult children. It would have made that time feel more like the start of something new instead of a loss.

Uplifting
It's so true that as a parent you eventually "realise life is one long series of letting go - watching your kid crawl, then walk, then run, and then drive away." However this book shows that when the children leave home, it's not a loss, it's liberating. I really enjoyed listening because it turned a heartrending topic into an uplifting one. Each chapter covers a different feature of what you can do to fill the silence. It's nice to have all these options read to you. Recommended!
