In my experience people who make their children sole focus of their lives have harder time. I do know people like that, they have nothing but kids. When kids are gone life is over. I am very close to my daughter, we talk daily, but she was never the only person/activity/thing in my life. I miss seeing her more often but I am just as busy as I was before. Life did not end.

It is the same with spouses. I know women who had nothing in their lives but taking care of their husbands, when they widowed their life is over.

It is important to have other things in ones life, work, hobbies, friends etc
