Shelly's Shares: Letting Go: A Mother's Journey Through College Goodbyes
Episode 107
Monday, 28 July, 2025
Send us a textLeaving a child at college marks one of parenthood's most profound transitions – a milestone many approach with mixed emotions but few are truly prepared for. As Shelly shares, her heart still aches recalling the moment she pulled away from her daughter's college dorm nine years ago, as tears flowed freely.The 12-hour journey home from Oregon became a long ride of grief, with her husband, her son and herself cycling through waves of tears that would briefly subside only to begin anew. That raw, vulnerable experience – the physical ache of separation, the empty bedroom waiting at home, her husband's plaintive "Why can't she just come home?" – represents a universal parenting moment that deserves honest conversation.This episode launches a three-part series exploring Shelly's personal experience taking each of her three children to college. She shares these stories not to amplify the difficulty, but to provide the preparation and awareness she wishes she had. While the sadness remains unavoidable, understanding these emotions as natural and communal offers valuable comfort. Remember that this transition, though heart-wrenching, eventually transforms into something beautiful – different from what came before, but equally meaningful. For mothers navigating this journey, consider joining our "Moms Who Flourish" wellness event on October 4th in Southern California, or reaching out about one-on-one mentorship specifically designed to help navigate this significant life transition.
