[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. I’m still a couple of years away from this and I do have a satisfying job and hobbies, but parenting is also the most meaningful thing I’ve done by far, and the end of it is looming. I feel like when that phase is over it’s just time to slowly descend towards death (not trying to be melodramatic, just what it feels like, and the activities listed above seem small and less fulfilling). [/quote] THIS! (From a retired mom)[/quote] Exactly this - I’m the one who posted my first just left and this is it. It’s like, yay I can take up pickleball and watercolor painting which I’ve said before I’d like to do but in the moment now contemplating it just feels meh. I’m sure there are underlying feelings about aging and the arc past middle age and looming health issues that are in the swirl of feelings as well.[/quote]
