And goodbye
Well, the time has come for me to finally close down my WordPress site.
I began blogging after my three kids moved out of our house within a month of each other, and fell into a depression I couldn’t shake. My lovely therapist suggested that I write out my pain, and I did, beginning with my blog “Post Departum Depression.”
You have all been there to support me as my kids grew up, my career came to an end, and I moved into the world of grandparenting.
You have been my counselors, my friends, my partners in this journey, and I will sorely miss our connections.
But the time has come for me to move on. I hope to continue writing, at least a bit, on Medium. If you are so inclined, I am writing under my own name, Karen Shiebler. If any of you would like to stay in touch like real life human friends, please email me at momshieb@gmail.com.
Thank you.
So very much.
Thank you for your empathy, your humor, your shared struggles and your feeling of community. I wish each and every one of you continued health, happiness, laughter and writing opportunities. You all have such strong and important voices, and I have learned so much from all of you!
Be well, dear friends! Happy and healthy 2023~
Bye.
Empty Nest, Full Life 
goodbye for now, and best of luck to you on your next chapter. I’ve enjoyed reading and following you, and glad you find yourself in a better place than when you began, and glad we could all be there for you to see you through. best, beth

Oh no! I’ll miss you. Before you go, though, can you let us all know how you’re doing after your surgery? I sent you an email, too.
