Worried Reader<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
My parent turned 70 and suddenly said “I want to do the ohenro pilgrimage.” Why now, out of nowhere? What does the pilgrimage actually mean for older people?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If that’s where your head is at, you’re far from alone \u2014 more people sit with this than you’d think.<\/p>\n

When parents in their later years start saying “I want to walk the pilgrimage,” there’s a pattern behind it \u2014 why this pull surfaces now<\/span>, specifically. Once you see the background, the picture changes.<\/p>\n

Retirement, kids grown, more focus on health, more time for reflection. “I want to put my own life in order”<\/span> \u2014 that instinct is what draws people toward the pilgrimage.<\/p>\n

In this article, I’ll lay out what the ohenro pilgrimage actually means for older people<\/strong>, the way I see it.<\/p>\n
