Empty-Nest Moms with College Kids or Grown kids in Denver Metro & Beyond?👯‍♀️

Hi! I’m new to this; just joined today. I’m a little old lady of 81 with two sons, age 47 and 42. Had a really hard time when my youngest left home. Couldn’t seem to fit in anywhere! But eventually, through church and neighbors, I started finding my balance once again. I love reading and doing crafts of all kinds. Would love to hear from you! Lucy

Hi, I'm new too. Joined today as well. I have two grow daughters, ages 36 and 37, and two grandchildren ages 2 and 4. I'm from Gunbarrel, Boulder County. I'm looking for friends as well.

Hi I am in Wisconsin but yes kids are going off to college and it’s a strange time. One is looking into school in Denver.

I love doing crafts as well. I listen to audiobooks all the time.

The whole empty nest thing really has been rough for me even though my daughters have been on their own for years. It's just for so long I had defined myself as a mother, it's what I am, who I am, and then they're off and on their own! Sure, it's what we want for them, we spend years teaching them how to be independent, but forget that means we will be on our own too.

Making new friends is difficult for me as I have a bit of social anxiety. It's a lot easier to post on something like this than meet in person, but I'd like to try to conquer that and maybe make some friends in person. (boy that was hard to type!)

Hi ladies! I’m new here. I’d love to connect!
