Biosocial Develeopment (Emerging Adult)

Psychosocial Development (Adulthood)
I could not even begin to imagine what 2045 would be like. I mean I hope to still be healthy and have loved ones still in my life. Im already a very emotional person, I am going to feel very bad for my family when I go through my mid life crisis. I want nothing more to have a close bond to my children and maybe even grandhcildren. I also will be so happy if I still am married to my amazing husband. -

I am older now. I might be widowed at this point in time, which really makes me sad to think of. I pray to still be living in my own home and not in a nursing home. I hope to still be able to be involved with my church. -
Death and Dying
If I am still living I hope by this point I am at ease with death. I hope I have no regrets with my life. I want to make sure that my family knows how I want to go and that I would like a religious funeral and to be buried. I do not know if i will write a living will.
