Too Old To Retire "Young"

[rube]

I'm so sorry for your losses EK. I don't know what to write, it just sucks. I wish you the strength you'll need for this.

So sorry to hear of your losses. It sometimes seems like there is a tendency for life to hit us with a cavalcade. Take care of yourself while you are in this place. Here's a song about dealing with grief that I found soothing.

One of my friends who is quickly approaching conventional retirement age has lost many of his people over just the last 5 years or so, and I can see how it's influencing his take on retirement towards pushing it further off. I think it's entirely to be expected that you will need some time to re-orient yourself.

I found him dead at the bottom of his staircase.

Did he fall down the steps or was that just where he died.

Did he fall down the steps or was that just where he died.

It appeared he fell backwards down the stairs and suffered a massive head injury.

[Henry]

So both.

[Sclass]

Sorry for your losses EK.

[ertyu]

May they both rest in peace.

[Frita]

Oh, EK, my thoughts are with you during this difficult season. Suddenly, your life is very different and that can be a hard adjustment. Wishing you peace.

[EdithKeeler]

Thanks to you all.

Sorry for your loss EK. I appreciate you sharing and this, in particular, as it is a useful reminder to many of us here:

2) don’t put off a damn thing because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.

[Vaikeasti]

All the kindness and warmth to you.
I wish you a healing and peaceful christmas time this year.
Dealing with loss takes time and energy, I hope you get to have those.

So sorry for your back to back losses of such important people in your life. Can't even imagine.
