Does anyone feel old and useless with age?
Hi, I'm almost 64.. I'm feeling old and useless. My strength isn't good anymore. Like it used to be mainly side effects of meds. My health is poor with cvsd. Osteoporosis, poor circulation, hearing , eyesight, you name it's going. I always took care of myself. Now I've gotten older and everything's wrong, my grandkids don't a want me around and they are little still. No friends to talk with or do things with. Why is it we spend our lifetime taking care of family. Loving friends to end up , old and tired. Useless.

You need to work on you without anyone else. I have similar issues with aging and I try hard to be occupied w my world. People are selfish but that shouldn’t hold you back from being productive

1 ReactionYou're almost 64. Relationships changed and so did you. Trust has become more complicated. The world feels different now. Solitude isn't loneliness. You are no longer the center of attention, the body is changing. Not everyone will be there forever. Change is inevitable and uneventful. Happiness is a choice. Physical decline is unavoidable, but attitude matters. Loneliness can be a real challenge. Financial stability is often limited and health becomes a priority. Loss of a spouse is inevitable, but grief is a pathway to healing. Your legacy becomes more important than material things. Your time has come to review your life and ask whether it has served any useful purpose or has been wholly concerned with futility.
Just a friendly reminder: As you breathe right now, another person takes their last. What you dwell on is who you become. Getting old is a privilege denied to many. You will only get a limited time on this earth. Every day is a good day to do something great. Focus on the Savior, not the storm. God bless you.

4 ReactionsPersonally, I make myself to happily do things while still able, however much or little.
Making joy simply in friendly, passing hellos with strangers.
Helping other people however and whenever I find I can.
Of course not doing all these things enough or perfectly, yet I make myself try.
That is the best myself can find to live out my retirement.
All the best 🙏 to 💚 you ! xpax
