Most of us know what "Empty Nest Syndrome' is and those who dont know i will elaborate for them..."Empty Nest Syndrome"refers to the lonliness felt by the parents or guardians when their child or children leave home.Child or children can leave home because of various reasons like for job,studies or after marriage and parents who r left behind feel lonely and sometimes neglected as well.Parents spend their whole lives in bringing up child and then suddenly child leaves them for his/her own new life.It makes parents feel sad and lonely.Main reason behind it is also the increase in number of nuclear families and decline in the number of joint families.This syndrome hits females more as compared to males.We human beings are very emotional and we need someone to talk to and to share our feelings with thats the reason when are alone we are tend to feel depressed.If you are living away from your family then there are a few tips to make you to make your parents feel that you care for them and to keep them happy.I know its not possible for you to call them every now and then coz of busy schedules but still u can try and call them every evening(if thats not possible then may be on alternate days but atleast once a week).Call them in evening once you are done with your day to day routine work.Tell them what you did for the whole day,what you had in breakfast and lunch(you should do it coz it will make them feel as if you are still around and with them).If you have kids make them talk to their grandparents often because grandparents are normally attached to grandchildren.Once in a while intentionally disturb them in the middle of the night:D Call them at such time in the night when you are sure they are sleeping and once they take your call tell them you called them up because you were missing them alot.For you it will be mere words but for them it will be the best thing to hear in this whole damn world.For them it wont be a disturbance but will be the best possible plesant and beautiful surprise.When you go home to meet them take lot of gifts for them(dont just forget buying gifts coz u think its a show-off or u dont have time,these are all stupid excuses coz if u love someone show it openly).Pamper them hug them and make them feel that they are the best parents in this worldRemember what they are going through today,u too will go through tomorrow so imagine and do whatever you wish your kids to do for you when u are in that situation.Dont ever forget they have given their precious 2o+ years in bringing u up,they have always tried their level best to give you the best.
P.S:These advices are for those people who are staying away from their folks so i expect people not to pass any sarcastic comments:o
