Empty nest syndrome is a general feeling of grief and loneliness parents or guardians may feel when their children leave home to live on their own for the first time.

Since a young adult moving out their parents ' house is seen as a normal and healthy event, the symptoms of empty nest syndrome often go unrecognized (" Empty Nest Syndrome ," 2010 ).

Adults who are also dealing with other stressful life events such as menopause, death of a spouse, or retirement are more likely to experience empty nest syndrome (" Empty Nest Syndrome ," 2010 ).

Mothers, often the primary caregivers, are more likely than fathers to experience empty nest syndrome (" Empty Nest Syndrome ," 2010 ) though research has shown that some fathers expressed feeling unprepared for the emotional transition accompanied with their child leaving home and guilt over lost opportunities to be more involved in their children's lives before they left home ( Clay, 2003 ).
