This looks like the kind of blog/post I need. I am 83. My husband,a docror 21 yrs my senior passed away in 2008 and I miss very much our conversations . We talked all the time…I am a proffesional artist and writer and enjoy working alone but sometimes feel very left out and de trop. My son lives with me but our relationship is stressed as he is unhappy(with me most of the time) and is very monosylabic…I do know alot of people and some are friends but with their own lives…I worry about outliving my money which is not much… worry about various health things and not being able to work. Here I may rant abit but I hope everyone understands. I am lucky to be alive and working…..and don’t want to do anything more than work since I don’t know when I will pass so I can’t afford to waste time. Just wish I were more mobile (a driver available) and more energy and less pain in the backside worries. Thank you for listening. Peace and Life

Much admiration for you sharing . I am 57 going on 83 so what advice would you give your 57 year old self . As for your son that is very sad . I would first ask what is going on with your son and resolve that or try working toward solving any stress in that relationship . I think the government has recourses that will help you financially so that you do not have that stress . Do you have a church close by ? Even if they are not your denomination you may make friends . Whatever you do just do not give in . I admire you .
