Aging Family


The aging family has challenges of its own. It can be a time when heath starts to decline, may even lose a spouse, and adult children start to leave home. But this should not be a time of despair, there are many joys that come when the family starts to age like grandchildren and more freedom for spouse time. When all the children grow up and move out of the house it is almost like the couple remarry. They now have to opportunity to have time with just themselves and get to know each other all over again. Often times I think the time where the family ages is looked down upon because it doesn’t seem as exciting as a young family, but that is wrong there can be just as much joy in having an aging family as starting a new young family.
