[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think new menopause forum should have fallen under a broader midlife category. Or eldercare can go back to “midlife and elder care”. Lots of discussions around retirement (not money related) - mental health, finding purpose, relationships, empty nest, etc[/quote]

I agree with all of this, love the Midlife Forum idea, except I like Eldercare as its own place. It is such a specific and difficult topic. Most of our parents' parents died much younger and didn't face a lot of eldercare issues. My grandparents all died in their 60s. So my parents gave no thought to what it entails to be old or afford being old. I have had a steep learning curve and a lot of people who go to Eldercare are trying to figure it out. There are a few of us who are happy to share what we have learned.

It's a psychological thing, but I don't like the idea of lumping such a devastating time of life (end of life) in with trying to make Midlife a renewal. Younger people don't get it and pretty much think all of us who have hit 50 are old. [/quote]
