For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

So much of my sense of who I am is tied to mothering. When they left home, I fell into a huge, empty, black hole. Your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.
