My preoccupation goes in cycles. A relative's hip breaks and I think, "How would I deal with this?" Not so long ago this was the end. Not now. Indeed it can work out well, to be sure. But, mercy, it can be one big struggle going nowhere. I do not have the necessary support and simply could not endure the dependency. Have notes in my purse, "Do not call 911, take me home."

And at home? That is what I still have to work out.

I guess aging or growing old is what we make of it...We can sit and wallow about our days gone by or make the most of it and hurt when it hurts...I, too, have some fear of dying...But, this is just because I will miss my family so much...I just can't imagine my life without my husband...Thinking about it, I find it more of an acceptance time of our life....Kind of like "this is what it is so make the most of it"....I have many hobbies so for me my days are filled...However, like most of you, I do have my aches and pains...All part of this thing called "older age"...My best to all...Take care....ILD
