Graduation season brings a complex mix of emotions as we celebrate our children's achievements while also grieving the end of a significant chapter in our lives as mothers. This bittersweet transition marks not only our children's growth but also our own evolution from full-time caregivers to witnesses of their adult lives, prompting us to consider what comes next in our own journey.
• The celebration of graduation represents the culmination of years of hard work and personal growth
• Different transitions exist between high school and college graduations, each with unique emotional impacts
• Leaving the K-12 system after decades can feel like losing an anchor that structured family life
• The "emotional whiplash" of feeling joy and grief simultaneously is a normal part of this transition
• As our children graduate, whether from high school or college, we mothers also graduate into a new phase of life
• This transition period is an opportunity to reflect on what we want in our next chapter
