Part of the Transforming Grief Virtual Symposium | November 5–7, 2025

Many parents are unprepared for the emotional complexity of an empty nest. What’s often seen as a normal life transition can actually surface deep feelings of grief, identity loss, and disconnection.

In this session, I’ll explore Empty Nest Syndrome through a grief-informed lens, helping clinicians recognize the nuanced grief that arises when children leave home. We’ll discuss:

-How to distinguish between adjustment, grief, and clinical depression

-The role of ambiguous and disenfranchised grief in the empty nest experience

-Practical, evidence-informed interventions to support parents in transition

-Compounded grief when parents have experienced the death of a child

This is a virtual event open to mental health professionals, educators, and anyone supporting families through transition. Check out the other workshops being presented as well.

Grief doesn’t ask us to forget — it asks us to evolve.
