Exactly What I Needed in This Season

I didn’t expect the empty nest to hit me as hard as it did. I thought I would be excited for the quiet, the space, the new freedom. But instead, I found myself feeling lost and emotional, unsure of who I was without the daily rhythm of caring for my child. This devotional met me right in that tender place.

Each week feels like a gentle conversation with a trusted friend. The reflections are honest and comforting, the Scriptures are exactly what I needed, and the prayers help me release the heaviness I didn’t even know I was carrying. Some weeks made me cry. Others gave me a sense of hope I hadn’t felt in a while.

What I love most is that it doesn’t just focus on the sadness. It helps me see the beauty of this new chapter too. It encourages me to reconnect with my passions, my spouse, my faith—and reminds me that just because my role as a mom is changing doesn’t mean it’s over.

This book is a gift. If you’re entering the empty nest and wondering what comes next, I highly recommend it. It’s not just a devotional. It’s a soft place to land.
