“It’s not too late to make a phone call, write a letter, or open a door.”
In this episode of Empty Nester Life, we’re diving into one of the hardest and most meaningful challenges of midlife: rebuilding broken or distant relationships. Whether you're hoping to reconnect with adult children, an estranged sibling, or an old friend, this conversation offers hope, encouragement, and real-world strategies.
We’ll explore:
- Why relationships drift apart over time
- How to take the first step toward reconnection
- What to say when you're unsure how to begin
- Ways to heal even if the other person isn’t ready
- Letting go of regret and finding peace
If you're carrying relationship regrets or wondering if it’s too late to mend a connection—you’re not alone. And it's never too late to try.
