empty nest syndrome

You ever heard of "empty nest syndrome". You know how after your kids are grown and out of the house, your kinda lost what to do with yourself now that you don't have them running around, no one making noise,or needing you to do for them. Well, I think that is where I am now.
Mom and Dad are gone, I'm stuck here. The house is to quite. What do I do with myself now?  After 3 years of drive to and from South Carolina to Kentucky every weekend to be with them and then moving here to help with their care...Now What? Mom had dementia which meant in her final months there was not a minute of my day when I was with her that wasn't about her. Dad was so weak in his last few months. I loved them so much and miss them more than I can express! BUT now things have come to a screeching halt! Now what? I don't know what to do with myself anymore. My life as it was is no more. I just feel so empty like I'm just existing from day to day! Does anyone else feel this way after losing the ones you were a caregiver to?
