If it's any consolation, Carol, I feel the same way.

It wasn't so bad while my children were younger - the fact that they depended on me kept me going.

Now they're grown up and gone, I've nothing to hang on to, despite what people tell me I should be thinking. Doesn't work like that, does it? :-(

I should be thankful that my daughter's well settled as a Payroll Assistant with promotion prospects, and that my son has been appointed Senior Commis Chef at a new hotel.

But when I'm sitting all alone with just my cat and computer for company... :-/
