The 2 fears I have about aging: 1. Outliving my usefulness 2. Outliving my money
I am 69 years old and the baby of six kids. Two of my sisters have already passed away (God Bless them both!), while the other three siblings and me, are holding our own.
However, with each day’s passing our final breath draws ever nearer. My siblings and I call each other, sharing our issues of the day; back problems, migraines, cancer, and an array of other unpleasant issues that are having their way with us.
There is a site called, Graying With Grace, which is for senior citizens and provides Resources // Vitality Support & Daily Living. In an article by Scott Grant, CSA®, SHSS®, he talks about 9 challenges the elderly face.
