Maria is facing her mid-life crisis. She lacks confidence and feels insecure about future.


Does the line in bold sound right? Are there other alternate ways to convey the idea? Thanks.

It is grammatically fine, though it would be better to say "a mid-life crisis". "Her mid-life crisis" implies that every person has one.

Thanks, Anglika.
Now I get it.

You know what! The base sentence sounds pretty good in our mother tongue. Namely, it doesn't imply that every person has one.
