Manage episode 426711129 series 3564450
It’s one of the hardest things about midlife. Relationship changes that your head knows are a normal part of life. But your heart feels like it’s breaking.
It seems like no relationship goes unchanged in this time of transition.
You and your spouse re-evaluate what matters most in your marriage now and it doesn’t always line up with what you hoped for in the empty nest years.
Your kids grow up and move away or become distant or even difficult as they chart their own path – a path that doesn’t always include you.
You see your parents aging and prepare yourself for the day when they won’t be around anymore. Or maybe you’ve already lost one or both of them.
These changes and others like them can add up to feeling like you’re losing the love you’ve built your life on.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to process feelings of midlife loss so you can step into the new season of love God has waiting for you.
