my son is going to college in a couple of days and i 'm sure the house will be a lot quieter without him .. i think the empty nest feeling is inevitable that is sad . do you have other children ? no , just one . always wanted to have more but it just was n't meant to be i understand . anyway , he will keep visiting . i sure hope so . at least the colleges is only 3 hours away
The son leaving for college is the cause that triggered the feeling of loneliness.
