I read in one of your posts, Monica that you lived to work. That could be an area you might address when your chest infection clears. Would you consider signing up for a couple of hours voluntary work to get you out of the rut you find yourself in at present? Each day wouldn’t be the same as the last if you had a few hours work to break the monotony.
When our children are getting on with their own lives and no longer rely on us, life can seem futile.
The time comes when we need to look at things differently. I think gambling masked a lot of issues and now that we have no crutch , we find ourselves limping along.
Lots of people my age seem to feel that being involved with grown up children and grandchildren will solve the emptiness. Maybe they are happy with that but I wonder if all our “children” actually want us involved in their lives at that level.
Mine don’t. Do yours?
