Most of my kids have moved out of the house, except for my youngest. I'm worried she's lonely in our near-empty nest.

• I'm preparing myself to deal with an empty nest, but my youngest is still living here.
• I recently realized she might feel left behind and lonely in the house with just me and her dad.
• I want to help her with the transition to being the only child at home.

I'm in the middle of what feels like a long transition period.

One of my four kids is a young adult who has already moved out on his own.
