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.

Helps turn bitter into sweet.

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!
