[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I could hug you all. I am healthy at the moment, but feel like old age (I am 65) is a series of cancer screening tests, and waiting for results that can be scary (many of my siblings have had serious health threats lately). My future is promising in that I hope to retire next year BUT I am also experiencing empty nest, which is really hard since my child and I have constituted our whole family for the past 20 years (companion for all meals, walks, vacations, etc). Any insights on how to enter my old age with optimism (while she is rightfully off to her own exciting, independent future) would be appreciated![/quote] I'm 56 and feel much like this. My child is off to college next year. Single mom so it's been the two of us for 18 years...and we enjoy each other. No teen angst at the moment. Job of 20+ years is also in a period of transition....so much is changing.[/quote]
