Difficult mother-daughter separation: what to do?

As your child grows into a young woman and prepares to leave the nest, how can you best deal with the mother-daughter separation?

• The closer your relationship with your little one, the harder it will be to cut the cord.
• However, separation is necessary and healthy for the well-being of both of you.
• Be convinced that you have accomplished your mission as a mother: to allow your daughter to stand on her own two feet.
• This transition is often painful, but it is also an opportunity to forge a new bond while respecting each other's needs.
