Your past is your guarantee that your children will become prosperous and happy adults. Your children will never forget the memories that they have built with you, and thanks to you. The future holds time for you all to remember the good times, and relive them!

Living in the past numbs the happiness of the present and the joy of the future. I completely understand that the future seems frightening at times, but we just have to trust that God has a plan and will take care of us.
God bless you!

It's not wrong at all to cherish those memories, but you can't let it keep you down. My mother had major empty-nest syndrome when my sister and I were both gone, but her and my dad are having a blast now. They go on trips or go out with friends all the time.
I know how you feel, though. My son will be 3 in April, and I just can't believe how quickly he's grown.

Memories can and will be happy ones as they mature into adulthood. It may not be easy for you at first when they leave but i myself find it a joy when mine come to visit. As to living in the past, You have a whole future in front of you it is yours to do as you please. When your children leave the nest know that you have done the best you can in giving morals and teaching them all you could. Now it will be time for you so enjoy it !You will have grandchildren most likely to look forward to spending time with.

I don't see a problem with living in the past as long as you are able to be in the present as well.
It's great that you have good memories of the past, and it's important to treasure them while you can. And remember, as the future happens, as your children grow, as life happens, you'll have lots of new memories forming, and very likely some that'll be as great and happy as some of the ones you currently treasure.

have fun with them while they're still around :) do fun spontaneous things with them and just let them know how much you love them :) and i'm sure they'll come see you once they've moved away and everything. and there's always phone calls :)
if you're worried about not knowing what to do to occupy your time once they've left, try finding a group of club of something in your neighborhood or close to your home so that you can stay busy. it would help if you found a hobby that you liked, that way you're not sitting at home alone with nothing to do.
get involved with something that you like :) and keep in touch with your kids as much as you can :)
i hope this helped.

It's not wrong, but it can get away from you.
It's gotten away from me before.
I think it is easier to work on the issues of the past than it is to anticipate the issues of the future (for me anyways) which can lead to me looking backward a lot.
But is it better to look where you've been, or where you are going?

How old are they?
You have to realize that they grow because of your nurture.
If you have done good in helping them grow, they will continue to be your children. But as the same time, they need to grow and have their own family. You will have grand kids. More to love.
