Explored experiences of 18 women, ages 35 to 60. Diversity in the sample was achieved in marital status; presence or absence of children; education; income; age; and sexual orientation. Resulting grounded theory conceptualized an emotional process with 3 parts: assessing circumstances; clarifying personal values; and adjusting behaviors and life circumstances to achieve congruence with values.
