KEY POINTS

Watching your last child leave for college is a bittersweet moment. Pride mixes with loss as you grapple with a major shift in identity. But this new chapter doesn’t have to be one of sadness.

It’s a chance to rediscover yourself and pursue passions you may have put aside.

Rabbi Gaines and Patricia Wu suggest to explore new hobbies, reconnect with old friends, or delve into a subject you’ve always been curious about. Investing in yourself not only expands your horizons but also brings joy and fulfillment.

But by embracing this new phase with curiosity and courage, you can emerge stronger and happier than ever.
