In the early middle-adult years (30 to 50 years), those individuals who chose to express their generativity through being a parent may achieve the successful launching of their children into responsible adult roles. Facing an "empty nest" as children move away can generate stress and disruption in individuals' lives. Being diagnosed with a chronic health problem can be a stressful life event during late-middle adulthood (50 to 70 years). Performing a life review can be a stressful task of late adulthood (70 years to death).
