Hi,
I am new to Mumsnet and have joined to ask other mums about dealing with the immense sense of loss I feel, after dropping off my son at his Halls in University on Saturday.
Though I am proud of the fact that he got into his chosen career(Medicine), I am finding it very difficult to cope, since I returned to our empty home on Sunday.
I work full-time and thought that I would cope better but alas, not.
My tears don't stop and my heart feels so empty. The silence in the house is deafening. The lack of the hustle bustle in the morning is driving me crazy. Everything is reminding me of him but I don't want to keep calling him or letting him see my pain. Want him to be happy and make new friends. But I feel like crying all the the time, don't feel like talking to friends or watch TV.
Am I abnormal or over-reacting?
Does any one feels the same?
