Right now, more and more people in Gen-X and beyond are hitting their 40-50s having not had children and it will likely hit pretty hard. I think the best that we can/should do is maybe pass/share the relatable pieces on to the up and coming generations. It also doesn't help that there has been so much environmental poison and dietary trends that have deeply effected fertility, particularly in men. At 47yo, I can relate... I have been married a couple times, and do have step-children. I sometimes grieve that I didn't get the chance to go through the earlier years with someone. At this point, I'm definitely not in a position to deal with very young children. I think it would have been nice to put more efforts into this while I was younger. I would suggest finding a good place to do some volunteer work, which can help with getting past the funk and bringing some fulfillment into your life. Maybe seek counselling regarding any particular depression.
