I remember my mom telling me about phases of life as she experienced them:

All your friends start getting married, you go to a lot of weddings
All your friends start having kids, you go to a lot of baby showers
Many of your friends start getting divorced, and you have to deal with trying to be friends with the former couple separately
Many of your friends get married a second time, weddings again
Many of your friends start having grandkids

At the time she concluded with “Some those were hard, but it was all okay. But now, all my friends are dying…”
