[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m probably the only person in DCUM who is 65. I can tell you I would rather go to the dentist than volunteer. Some people just hate it — the politics, the virtue signaling, the pointlessness of it, “art for the poor” sandwich making etc etc. Your mom probably volunteered all she wanted to when you were in school and now she’s DONE.

No, she didn’t at all, but I know it’s not for anyone.   I know this is hard to believe but some people are only about work and retire but never find anything to fill life in after.   She retired before 60, is now past 75, and never had things besides television, really, and going to church weekly to fill the time.  I guess this is not conceivable to people, and I know she felt burned out.   I just wish she had developed more interesting and stimulating patterns in the past 18 years, and whether it’s connected to diabetes or advanced age or not, having more to think about or do might have made her overall happier and more pleasant overall.
