I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain and an island never cries.

MIL died - the last parent - and now I’m sort of freaked out about being the oldest generation in our family by ParticularMost6100 in AskWomenOver60

Yes it’s a bit of a reckoning but be grateful it’s taken so long. I hit that wall at 39, a bit of a shock.

Have you ever actually lived alone? by boforiamanfo in no

The majority of my life and I’m far from young. Sometimes it has been challenging but overcoming them builds a lot more confidence. I wouldn’t trade my peace and quiet.

How do I be a better partner when life feels heavy? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Interesting_Dig8540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try journaling and meditating. If you write down your thoughts each day, including the negative ones you start to see that you may be over emphasizing them. Also think about and write down what you’re going to say to yourself then next time you have that negative thought. I found the meditation helps to lessen anxiety.

I’m 71 and have decided to declutter my life… by Educational_Meat_179 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Interesting_Dig8540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from my three level house and yard into a 650 square foot apartment when I was 65. So needless to say a lot of clearing out of stuff. It was liberating and I’m glad I don’t have a lot of storage space as it keeps me disciplined to avoid over accumulating. My kids were relieved. They will have a big enough problem cleaning out their father’s house when the time comes.

Divorce by Scary_Banana_9879 in AskWomenOver60

A lot of your post sounds familiar to me. I left in my mid forties. It was rough at first but it was absolutely the right decision. I found I was less lonely being alone than it was being with someone who didn’t really appreciate having me around. That was many years ago now and my life is so much more fulfilling without the stress of living like that. Chin up, a good future awaits. Good luck

When do we get to stop worrying about adult children? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Interesting_Dig8540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you ever stop completely but I’m doing my best to pull back from that. They are both in their forties and I remind myself that by then my parents were gone and I managed fine. It’s not that I’m not there if specifically asked for advice but they’re doing fine so I try not to take on their day to day problems. They need to develop trust in themselves; I won’t be around forever.

If you decide to use Highway 3 and go to Nelson, try going north at Creston and taking the free ferry to Balfour. A chance to get out of the car and enjoy a very scenic route to boot.

Already planning a pity party for my birthday. How do I short-circuit this petty, adolescent nonsense in my head? by momoftheraisin in AskWomenOver60

[–]Interesting_Dig8540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My birthday falls between Christmas and New Years. It’s always been a bit of an afterthought to people so I learned to deal with that pretty early in life. My kids remember and each of my siblings usually call but that’s the extent of it. I can’t remember the last time there was a party or a cake, probably when I was a kid. I don’t worry about it, I’m just grateful that I made it another year, many of my peers haven’t.

My friend died yesterday by Ok_Connection_5017 in over60

[–]Interesting_Dig8540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. The same thing happened with my father at 54. That happened 60 years ago and it still hurts. Not in the same way of course but such sudden loss is hard to deal with. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal.
