I’m in my 30s, and my parents are in their 70s. I live about a 20-minute drive away from them, so I visit them often.
Every time I visit, I leave with this heavy feeling of nostalgia and sadness. I become very aware that someday they won’t be here anymore.
They are not sick. They are doing well. But I still keep having these thoughts after seeing them, and it’s becoming tiring.
Why does this happen every time I visit them? And how do I stop getting stuck in these thoughts?
