How to Thrive in Every Season of Life

Are you facing a new, strange season? Perhaps you’re recently retired, empty nesting, or widowed. Maybe you’re starting a new career or raising children. No matter your season or circumstance, you always have at least one of the following three things to offer:

  1. Time. When kids are young, a parent’s time is broken into small increments. There’s very little capacity and a million demands. But as we age, we settle into a slower, more manageable pace where we can volunteer or serve in unique ways. Do you have time you can give to someone in need or to an organization you care about?
  1. Talent. Whether you’re in the process of building a career or preparing to retire, you have talents and skills you’ve developed that can benefit others. Is this a season where your talents can help bring advancement or attention to a cause you’re passionate about? You can advocate for a not-for-profit mission in many unique ways. 
  1. Treasure. Many older adults find themselves less physically equipped to volunteer, but more focused on the legacy they’ll leave behind. These individuals carry a deep treasure – a legacy of wisdom and beliefs they want to pass along to loved ones, or a legacy of generosity to organizations like Hospice of Michigan.

What season do you find yourself in? If you would like to learn more about how you can leave a legacy of generosity and care for patients and families in their end-of-life journey, please contact Stephanie Le at 248-346-4253 or sle@hom.org.
