How do people handle the losses in aging?

This is a difficult topic, isn't it?
At 60, I knew I was getting older and slowing down.
Then I had a stroke.
As I say, my life didn't end, but it stopped. My independence, my career, my hobbies, and many of my relationships ended right there. The question was: Where do I go from here?
5-1/2 years later, I'm still working that out.
Some of my experiences, decisions, and thoughts are on my YouTube channel, "From Recovery to Discovery." Please have a look and see if any of it is helpful.

Scott -- Watched your vid. Thanks for sharing it.
You demo a fab attitude and a caring personality... you stepped up and took the time to try to help others who may also be dealing with life and the challenges it presents to all of us.
All the best in your continued recovery!

Wow “ my life didn't end, but it stopped” you just described exactly how I feel. It’s so hard when you and your life changes over night. I’ve been struggling with this for three months. I do not know how to let go of who I was and who I thought I would be at this age. Although my health issue is not life threatening it has changed everything about me and my daily life. The mental aspect of this is debilitating. My close family and friends do not understand this.
I understand you and can relate. So sorry for the difficulties you are dealing with.
