Mortality
No wonder there is crisis at mid-life. A glimpse of mortality. The feeling of a start of an irreversible slide towards old age. And the realization that old age may not be the most pleasant stage of one's life.
There's the fear of the loss of physical strength and mental ability. Most importantly, the fear of losing one's dignity and the respect of others, especially one's loved ones. The sense of uselessness creeping in.
Scary this thing. Yet I see some cross over to the twilight years with their head high and joy intact. It may not be hopeless after all, but it won't be easy.
