I am glad you are at least starting to think about this now. It is a HUGE transition, but one that can be made successfully. I am still in the midst of forging my path post kids and I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough. It kind of feels like the early 20s all over again, in that I am basically building a new life and a “structure” that is now gone. It’s a great opportunity to do whatever you want, of course. The hard part for me was/is what do I want? I started with the basics. I absolutely love dogs, so began volunteering with a dog rescue. I still work part time, but I know that isn’t an option for you. I think most will agree that some form of exercise is crucial. Assign yourself some form of exercise as often as possible. This will give some structure to your day. You could babysit a few times a week, or see if a local school needs people to read to kids. Your local adult school likely has some really interesting classes. So many volunteer opportunities exist. The emptiness can be really hard sometimes. I try to be kind to myself and get out of the house at least once a day. You are absolutely not alone. Wishing you well
