Generation Shifts

In addition to the loss of foundation and emotional challenges we face, there are other challenges. For one, roles may shift. If we have lost our last living parent we move from the middle generation position (you are a child and you have children) to the older generation position.

Additionally, if you lose one parent suddenly, like Rita, you may be left with the responsibility of caring for the surviving parent. Without warning or preparation, you must assume the role of caregiver. You become responsible for working with an attorney, the insurance company, maybe even a criminal trial in the courts.

If you and your parents were on the younger side (you in your twenties and they in their forties) at the time of death, you may have deep regrets over what you did and didn’t get to do with them. If you and your parents were older (you in your forties and they over sixty) you may still have regrets, but it’s more likely you have more memories to cherish.
