43 and feeling lost

I’m turning 43 next week and feel like I’m going through a life crisis.

I’ve always wanted to be a wife and a mom. Right now, I don’t see that happening, and it’s really hard.

Being a wife still feels possible. But being a mom feels like it’s slipping away.

I’ve been thinking… should I be open to other paths?

Like just being a stepmom to my future husbands kids (if he has them), or adopting an older child from foster care?

I think I’m also grieving the life I thought I would have by now.
