Invitation to share your experience & build community
I recently published the first installment in my new Substack blog, a continuation/companion project to my podcast of the same name: The Irreparable Collective. It’s the most honest and vulnerable I have ever been, but I feel the need to share what’s hidden so my pain has some purpose. Having come out of a dark night of the soul with hope and gratitude, maybe it will inspire more of us to be fearless in our writing and in our lives. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experience dealing with mental health challenges, chronic illness, and/or the indignities of aging. Here ya go:

wow is all i can say to your site, blog, whatever--- i mean i could easily get on here and give you a book. try a brain tumor making you do things you normally wouldn't do and dive right into living with old age syndrome coming at you which is closing in fast. how about senior moment of wanting and needing a partner who can deal with the healing side. too often seizures from right frontal lobe tumor and lastly wanting that opposite sex willing to come get me take us out for whatever occasion, coffee break long walks and treated like they've never been treated before that only comes from experience and one too many marriages. nuff said. have a blessed day. I did lie the microwave touch. you made me happier today reading your parts.

I am so sorry to hear everything you are going through. I know the ache of wanting a partner who will care for you and fight your battles when you’re ready to buckle. Hell, just a nice distraction like coffee and a (very brief) walk would be lovely! Are you able to have a dog or cat? I know they’re not great conversationalists, but they do provide a good deal of comic relief. And snuggles 🥰
@chiennoir1981 nope, the pets here have passed on the they don't want anymore. cant blame them , after a while they are like family. thank you for the post. have a blessed day and may you have continued blessings.
@chiennoir1981 ya know i already have my daughter to take care of everything and a caregiver 20 hours a week. but that's not the same thing as having a friend or just a lady that has the same lonely days and wants company. dating sites are just that and you have to pay like a shopping site. I'm going to try senior centers next, once things settle down. going to go to a friends house to visit for a few days, that will be a great break from the way things are now. thankyou for the reply's and have a blessed evening.
@randallshields56 lastly, I'm 69and feel like still in my 50s 10 miles on an exercise bike, walk 2 plus miles a day plus normal exercises i do . I'm no couch potato. chow Darlin. have a blessed day. and Thank you
