Mending Fences: How to Reconnect with Family, Friends, or Adult Children

“It’s not too late to make a phone call, write a letter, or open a door.”

In this episode of Empty Nester Life, we’re diving into one of the hardest and most meaningful challenges of midlife: rebuilding broken or distant relationships. Whether you're hoping to reconnect with adult children, an estranged sibling, or an old friend, this conversation offers hope, encouragement, and real-world strategies.

We’ll explore:

• Why relationships drift apart over time
• How to take the first step toward reconnection
• What to say when you're unsure how to begin
• Ways to heal even if the other person isn’t ready
• Letting go of regret and finding peace

If you're carrying relationship regrets or wondering if it’s too late to mend a connection—you’re not alone. And it's never too late to try.
