Description
The transition to an empty nest can be a profound and life-changing experience for mothers. As their children grow older and leave home, many women are left to re-evaluate their sense of identity and purpose. In "Once a Mother, Always a Mother", Annette Byford explores the practical and emotional challenges of this stage of family life, drawing on her own experiences as a mother, grandmother, and psychotherapist. The book examines how mothers navigate the twists and turns of this journey, including the experience of being a mother-in-law, grandmother, and negotiating growing old. Through a combination of personal reflection, interviews with mothers, and analysis of literature and media, Byford offers insights into what may be helpful for successful transitions at this stage of family life. This book will appeal to readers who have older children and are interested in understanding the psychological processes involved.
