No offense alysiak, but if you see your daughter EVERY weekend and your son is close enough to come by to launder his clothes, you don't have an empty next.
Those who are feeling they have empty nest, need to think how to broaden their activities to fill up some of the space they had in their day devoted to caring for their kids.
That means starting a new hobby, thinking about volunteering, getting a job, planning more local and perhaps farther away outings and travel, perhaps taking a class themselves at the local college and the favorite suggestion I often hear, getting a new dog.
Like any change it takes time to settle into a new routine. Your neighbor's wife will grieve the loss of her old self until she has found her new self
