Children leaving home is a major event in your life -
whether it's the first one off your hands, or the last one leaving you to a
calm you haven't appreciated for years. As ever, you are likely to have to
give them a helping hand.
Whilst
having the house to yourself and more time and financial freedom are a giant
leap forward in enjoying your laterlife, inevitably you will be concerned
over your children's future. What's more, the effect that not having them around may
have on you and your relationships can't be underestimated.
We've tried to provide a mixture of resources and information - both on
matters practical and emotional. On the practical side there are one or two
sites that you can use to help your son or daughter find the right place to
move into. They also link to financial advice (mortgage and loans).
There are also a few sites that can give you advice on the emotional side of
your fledglings leaving the nest and please do have a look at our
Relationship Counselling articles by Maggi Smith, a
qualified and experienced relationship counsellor for Relate and in private

And so we don't forget the purpose
of this site, we've also linked to our other sections that can give you
information on how to make the most of your laterlife. |
