[quote=Anonymous]Tell her to keep her perspective on aging.

There are much worse things than being 42.

Like being 52. Or 62. (Just kidding.)

It is truly better than the alternative.
Look at how blessed she is.
I.e., financial security, healthy family, etc.

Youth & looks are fleeting. We all know this.
Still....it is tough when you realize how quickly the time has passed already.

Aging is not for the faint of heart.

For us women it is a lot tougher since our gender is encouraged that our youth/appearance is somehow tied to our worth.
Men on the other hand are thought to age gracefully.

Look at all the celeb men who stop coloring their hair and get to wear their gray.
I.e., George Clooney, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Andy Cohen, Matt LeBlanc, etc......

The only celebrity women that I know of who actually beat their gray is Jamie Lee Curtis.

If your wife wants to try Botox because she thinks she will look better, then be okay w/it. Support her in all she does, but bottom line is that she still has quite a few good years left to live and not everybody gets a chance to live theirs.[/quote]
