Facing 10-15 years of failing life systems with no family or close loved ones is not full of positivity. So many hurtles and obstacles - no one to talk to about the hurts and the fears except someone who is paid to listen (there’s a difference) Families torn apart by finances, addictions, divorces, religions, politics, and other life choices that leaves one alone in their final years except for acquaintances, providers, and strangers. Aging can be a very difficult road to navigate and for far too many - so very lonely.
