I am sad that you feel this way but understand because much of the time I do also. You are amazing and I don't think you realize that! 88 years old! How awesome is that! Your are a strong survivor. I am64 and feel that way because of my three sons...especially one who is an alcoholic. Do you have children or grand-children? I am going to sleep soon and am going to pray for you...big hugs and life here wasn't meant to be easy I guess or we wouldn't need the big guy upstairs...God.🌹

Yes, I am a survivor. I left my abusive mother as a young twenty something to start a new life. That was in 1958 when it wasn't being done. But it did make me strong. I have two sons. My husband would have liked more children but it was enough for me. I also have grandchildren. To be honest what saved me was racewalking. I got into it in my forties and loved it. Even though I had a full-time job and family I took that time for myself; stopped at the track after work and did 3-4 miles every day for 5 days. Did this until I retired at 67, but never stopped walking. I really believe that is has helped to achieve this great age in more or less pretty good condition. I am able to live independently. Going on a short cruise at the end of the month. Will be first one without my husband. Going to be hard but I will survive.

Really agree that life wasn't meant to be easy.
It just puzzles me, the degree to which media, advertising etc sell images of total happiness and pleasure.
