I am content for the most part, probably enjoy being alone too much. Love my full time job.
What I am having the most difficulty with and it still makes me angry after my 2017 divorce, after 35 years married, is aging alone. I have wonderful local friends and three great adult children who are not local, but not having that one person to be there if I become ill and unable to make that emergency call, or the one person who will stay at the hospital for days on end, be a second set of ears if I get a terrible diagnosis and shut down while the Dr is still talking.
I committed to aging together and didnt have a choice in aging alone.
These are the things I think about at 67 years old....alone.
After 40 years, ex turned into someone I didnt know and couldnt trust anymore. Divorced. 1/17
