Description

Thirty million mothers between 40 and 60 years old are about to face childless households for the first time in decades. For many women, this transition can be a journey of joy and discovery. Through her research, Carin Rubenstein breaks down the post-motherhood stage into three stages: grief, relief, and joy. She reveals how some mothers thrive while others struggle. As women navigate these stages, friendships blossom, work flourishes, and confidence and well-being are renewed. While increased time together can sometimes hasten the end of a struggling marriage, most women discover that their relationships improve when children leave home. This book offers valuable insights into the positive changes that lie ahead for mothers after their children have left for college. With its practical advice and engaging anecdotes, "Beyond the Mommy Years" provides the tools to help mothers live a rich and full life.
