[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of agree. But I am not at peace with it. At all. I'm not ready to not have all the things I loved. I miss my family,  relevancy, life.

I see that people dismiss older women in general, and apparently one has to  be a super hero to avoid it- RBG, Pelosi,  Sophia Loren, Hillary Clinton,  etc.  They  still get credit for being alive, the rest of us- meh, who needs us(?)- no one. Something at 55 suggests to others that we are just taking up space or are even annoying. I want to be included.

Men don't always  go through  this. 
Meanwhile I'll be grateful for my husband who  loves  me, my dogs, my friends,  and  any crumbs my kids throw at me.  :D [/quote]

PP, I hope this passes once we are well on our way to getting through the pandemic. It’s clear from your post you don’t have peace right now.

I will be 55 relatively soon and do not consider myself an older woman. I still believe I’m middle-aged. The age I consider to be “older” continues to get higher as my birthdays come and go, lol.
Yes, things aren’t what they used to be and I can’t express how much I miss all the family members who have passed however, there’s a lot of life left to live.

All of the women you mentioned are much older than you, BTW (RBG, RIP). I’m don’t understand why there’s any comparison to them at all. [/quote]
