I think when your children finally leave the house it is a huge change just as when they first come into the world. I think parents tend to always put their children first and when you actually have the chance to put you first, you tend to hit a depression until you can manage to change yet again.
When it comes to any change in your life, there tends to be a period of adjustment. It all ends up 'ironing' itself back out and then they move back in because the world is too tough to try and make it on their own. Then, again, it is time to readjust.
