Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

This Too Shall Pass


Listen Later

Loss in life comes in a lot of different shapes, sizes, and forms and each one of us will experience multiple losses over a lifetime. And how we process those losses makes all the difference. 

In this Language of Love Session, I get into the loss of the empty nest, when our children leave home. I spend time with Charisse, who is facing the loss of her youngest as he prepares to go to college. She’s struggling as it is, but also feeling pulled deeper into grief because this loss is triggering old losses that are now coming to the surface. We get into the complexities of the “empty nest,” how to navigate the complexities of that loss, and what to do when old losses are triggering and complicating new ones. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Understanding loss in whatever way it manifests
  • How new losses can trigger old ones
  • How to transition as our children leave home, remaining their parent, but also learning how to become their friend.
