Depression and Empty Nest


sadness and depression



Depression and empty nest syndrome often occur when your children move away from home. Sending or receiving gift baskets can help you focus on the positive aspects of life changes. If you know someone who is undergoing this type of situation, reach out and touch them with a personalized gift basket to help them feel loved and connected.

Overcoming Empty Nest Syndrome

While nothing can take the place of your children’s presence in your life, now you can focus on giving in different ways. When your children are getting ready to move out or have gone off to college, you can start feeling depression and empty nest syndrome. Think about packing and sending them special gift baskets from home during these times. Include a favorite stuffed toy to evoke memories of home or include some of your own home-baked cookies. When you are intent on remembering the joyful times and sharing more of yourself, the burden of loss can seem all worth it.

Notice Someone Else with an Empty Nest?

Odds are your circles of friends are probably all experiencing sadness at the graduation of their children from high school. This rite of passage marks a time when a young child becomes an adult and moves from home. If you are noticing others with depression and empty nest, you can send them recognition of a job well done by including a comfort basket with inspirational reading, chocolates, or even wind chimes. Add a candle, some bath oils, and other soothing items to help others de-stress and enjoy another phase of their lives instead of brooding.

Treat Your Spouse to a Comfort Basket

Has your spouse become moody since your last child left for college or a career? Now is the time to spark the romance candle.

  • You can begin by sending your spouse a beautiful comfort basket with items they enjoy to take their mind off the loneliness, depression and empty nest feelings.

  • Include tickets to that Broadway show they’ve wanted to see or take a mini-vacation to an exotic locale.

  • Acknowledge the hard work it took to raise the children successfully by creating a custom photo album, jewelry with gemstones of each of the children, or beautiful inspirational books.

  • You might even want to help your spouse use his or her spare time to start a new hobby by buying some hobby items and including them in a comfort basket.
  • You can order a comfort basket online and just add a few more items to personalize it. This way, half the effort is already done and you simply apply the finishing touches.
