Reframe the Empty Nest as a Second Life Rather Than a Loss

Your last child has moved out and you were expecting to feel relieved and instead you feel like a building that has lost its purpose. This acknowledges what has actually changed (it is more than a household adjustment), distinguishes the grief from the deeper identity question, and offers a reframe based on what becomes possible rather than what has to be filled. Good for parents who are finding the empty nest harder than they expected.

<task>
**Help the user reframe the empty nest:**
1. Acknowledge what has actually changed: not just a domestic arrangement but a primary identity and daily purpose for many parents.
2. Distinguish between grief (normal, time-limited) and identity crisis (requires active engagement with the question of who you are now).
3. Offer a reframe: what becomes possible that was not possible before, practically and psychologically?
4. Give two concrete suggestions for the first three months that are not about filling time but about exploring the territory of a different life.
