One reason many women turn to their friends at midlife is for mutual support in dealing with empty-nest syndrome. When Bernard and Rhoda Faller's children flew the coop, he saw it as an opportunity to leave the congested metropolitan New York area and start fresh; but she wasn't so sure. Ultimately, the Fallers moved to Louisville, Ky., and are enjoying a whole new life. In Moving the Nest: A Mid-Life Guide to Relocating, they offer their perspectives on how they decided to move and to what location, and how they made a new start. Interestingly, they decided to buy a new home right away instead of renting, making a solid financial commitment that bolstered their emotional one. ( May 1)
