I am translating a German text into English.
It contains a sentence that translates roughly to
In the middle of life, you stand alone.
I'm unsure about "middle" here, and can't think of a more fitting substitute. "Life" is related to the time span of a single human life. Therefore, "center" is out of the question of course. Or is it?
Would you use "middle" in this sentence?
Do you have a better idea?
