Sorry to hear you've lost so many people in your life at such a young age. I've always thought 40s was young to lose parents and siblings.
Unless you were born really late. I have a Tia (aunt) that is almost 20 years younger than my mom. She's actually close to my age. She's more like you. Lost everybody really young.
I agree with the teaching comment however that's a harder line to draw. I'm not even sure I like the learning category title. To me we are always learning and teaching. They both overlap categories. Siblings taught me a lot at a very young age, as well as my parents as they were dying.
Good example are parents age 15 to death are learning from their children and yet teaching the whole time as well.
I think the titles are more used to indicate a main purpose or agenda for that period of life. Then I think learning and planning work.
Okay for the record is 34 middle aged?
