It’s not always easy to see children leave the house. When her 19-year-old only daughter, Emma, left home a year and a half ago, Lilli Dam felt an “emotional shock”. She experienced what many parents feel when their children leave: empty nest syndrome.
“To better understand and analyze what was happening to me, I wanted to take up my pen and put all my reasoning down on paper,” explains the 47-year-old woman. The more I progressed in my writing, the more I found myself in the right and in a dazzling truth. I therefore had to discuss the subject with as many people as possible and I carried out fairly in-depth research to support my remarks and defend the cause. »
Research and feelings
This writing work will result in a self-published book: “Emma… or why does this “empty nest syndrome” happen to me? »
This work is the fruit of his research, his feelings and his analysis. “I also reveal myself because introspection was a key to understanding this slump and overcoming it. I also offer suggestions for better anticipating this state, or at least trying to do so. Empty nest syndrome is not to be taken lightly. It’s important to talk about it. »
Next Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Lilli will dedicate her work at the Cultura Toulouse-Balma center.
