The OffSpring of Seniors sometimes go astray and are in need of guidance, What is effective to show them their wayward way? I'm looking also but do SEE that some of them are at risk of being eaten by the "Wolves" of the Streets dispite their Upbring'ens. How do Seniors help protect their offspring from the Wolves? 1st: Find someone who has noticed they are in possible trouble, then organize. Cheers.

BEREAVMENT OF EX WIFE Reply to this Comment

I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT MY EX WIFE OF 46YEARS MARRIED HAS ONLY HOURS TO LIVE. SHE IS IN A HOSPISE MY TWO GROAN UP SONS ARE WITH HER. I REMARRIED @ MY NEW WIFE IS NOT VERY UNDERSTANDING THAT I WILL WANT TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL. ANY COMMENTS MAY HELP ME AT THIS SAD TIME

Bereavement of Ex Reply to this Comment

Your wife must understand that your ex is the mother of your children. She was in your life for nearly a half century. You are who you are (the man your current wife loves) in part due to your ex. I hope you can convince your wife that it is important that you attend the funeral, at the very least for the sake of your sons and perhaps more importantly for your future peace of mind.

This is the first time I have used a chat sight for seniors. I have just turn 60 and am still hoping to work part time in child care or teaching.

retiring Reply to this Comment

Hi , I have retired about 6 months ago. After working all my life I must say it takes some getting use to. I must say I have mixed feelings about this 'state of mind'. I don't think I can live my life without lots to do and stress to motivate me. The difference now in my old age...hahahah I still want stress but in limited amounts and when I no longer want it I want to be able to walk away. [in a perfect life]. I taught at the university level which I enjoyed. I have one child and one grandchild. they have their lives so our interaction is on a limited bases. Hope you are doing well. Mil

I have been retired for 9months and must agree it takes a lot of getting use to. I work well with/under stress but at this stage of my life stress is something I want to be able to walk away from when I don't want to play. Life is not easy. You really have to have a strong sense of self and see things through different eyes.

Not right Reply to this Comment

I just read your post and I am so sorry that your first wife is passing of 46 years. It appears that your second wife could be jealous, but she should be understanding and considerate for you and your children, or at least put on an act. She doesn't sound like a very sensitive individual, sad for you. I would go to my X wifes funeral without her permission. We as Sr. citizens must stand up for what we believe is right, or get mowed over. Good luck to you. Lois

Good Morning, I'm 62 and semi retired. Chat rooms are a mystery to me? How does it work? I would like to focus on the positive aspects of life. Sure I'm lonely some times but at last I have some freedom. Now I have time to read, walk, ride my bike and watercolor. When I worked full time I was lucky to keep the house and garden up. Last month I took my first elderhostel trip. It was great. What travel experiences have you had? Sher

loneliness Reply to this Comment

We all get lonely when the children leave. One work and takes care of the family leaving no time forone,s interests.And suddenly husband leave and kids leave home and one retires.You feel like time stopped. There is a great void, it takes some time, but slowly you remember that long long time ago, before you married before the life you had for the last 4o years, you long to something. You dreamed of going somewhere, of painting people and flowers, of meeting new friends, of doing photography, watching birds,travelling..... remember there is life after kids, I found out so will you.

I noticed your message, I am 63, still work full time as an RN, have moved back home 2 years ago when my mother was very ill, passed away since, feel I am out of touch with the real world, just do to work and stay in house. Have added a little weight and am no real proud what I look like as compared to 20 years ago, although no one ever seems to think I'm out of my early 50's. Very vane about my looks and hair, like to be treated like a lady that I am, but still like to have fun and need a last best male friend. Would like to know area you're from, I'm in southeast Missouri.

I am 63 years young, tole I look 50, divorced, work full time as an RN, trying to pay for an old timey house, (lot of repair done)somewhat loney, would like to meet my last best male friend. I don't get out much, guess because I've gained a little weight and think I don't look good, people at work keep telling me its just my opinion. Have one son, 39 years old, hope to retire in a couple of years. Drive good car, Santa Fe, like to go out to eat, good movies, love to cook, certain TV shows. Love gardening when weather and time allows, but I'm no by any means an old cronie, love to fix up, wear the right make up and hair styled right.

To the 79ish... I'm glad I got some response. About my interests, I bowl once a week, I can't get the scores I used to but it is still fun. I'm in a craft group, we do crocheting, knitting and all that good stuff. I love to go to the casinos, nothing like those video poker slots! I'm very active in my church, that takes up a lot of my time. Also read mystery novels, and spend time on the computer. don't have much time for sitting and twiddling my thumbs.

friendship Reply to this Comment

I agree most seniors are lonely with lots of time on our hands - we need to help each other: If we are good at reading start a book club online; if we are good at cooking start exchanging receipes; if we are good at tennis; golf, etc., use it to help each other and discuss it as a group or one on one on line. If you like me to be your friend this is for the lady from India I will be more than happy to chat with you. I am a 61 years old very active senior married for 31 years and still working.

lonely depressed Reply to this Comment

I am a 69 yr old widow-for 9 years now. I know what it is like to be alone.My kids call when they need a babysitter, I know they deserve their own lives, but I would like for them to remember I still exist too. I work part-time and am looking for full-time work. I never really had time to make friends, was following spouse around as he transferred, always worked full-time, took care of kids and home plus later raised grand twins. So have raised 2 families. Have always suffered from depression and fibromyalgia so never had a lot of energy left over to have much social life. When spouse was alive, his life was all about his job and he was not very outgoing as far as making friends. So all my spare time was used up doing things for and with kids. 3 of my own plus gandtwins.

caregiver Reply to this Comment

Yes being a caregiver for a spouse can be very lonley. He is not the man I fell in love with but a 73yrs old stubbon and votile 2yr old. between working and not getting any help(make too much money) by the gov.guidelines I am at my wits end. The red tape of trying to get help for my blind demita and cripple husband is driving me insane. Call backs to angencies supposed to help are almost insuffable.We can't help or you have to call here even online the amount of redtape is overwhelming. I called for help and because I am 12 yrs younger than my husband they can't help me until I turn 65 or older. That is not fair for him not me I just wish there was someplace that would say here is what you can get and not have to call or look up seventy web sites or call twenty angencys.

hello lonely 74. I too have raised two families (six children, 4 step children and a whole bunch of grandkids) I am retired and have had a little time to myself to do selfish things for myself. We seem to have same interest and would love to chat with you if you are interested.

Well, here I go... Reply to this Comment

Not a clue as to what I am going to say. Playing this by ear. I'm a 65 year old female. Lonely for friends I guess. So...maybe I will just leave it at that for now. Someone at this site posted "#1 is the loneliest number". I have always been fond of that song. Do many of you remember it?

Retired in April Reply to this Comment

Try seeing if you can find a parttime job helping elderly people . I love working with people in their late 70s and 80s. I learn a lot from some of them and they are so appreciative.

I'm so sad - two sons just got married within the past six months and they are both so distant - always say I am "pushy," and my husband agrees. Retired, need income, and am so stressed. Don't even want to go places with "friends." Hubby content to work, come home, watch tv. Nothing else. I'm bored, sad, and gaining weight. Don't tell me to go to a doctor - I've been on meds and took myself off - 3 years and I was still feeling this way - not as strongly, but more numbly. Just want someone to LISTEN and not offer glib recipes for healing. I really don't believe in God anymore - or all that after life stuff. Raised a Catholic and wish I did believe....

carer Reply to this Comment

I am 61 and a full time carer to my mother who is in her 90s. I gave up my job six years ago to care and I live on my own and feel very isolated. I have on son who lives in another country and although we phone each other often and he visits I miss him a lot. I enjoy gardening and walking which I try to do every day but my mother who lives in her own home with my brother is taking up more of my time and I never even have a day off as I need to be there each morning and evening. Would love to chat to anyone out here who is interested

Retirement Reply to this Comment

For godsake don't vegetate! I retired 8 years ago and have kept SO busy since then volunteering and doing things I never had the time or energy for before (like a couple of senior theater groups I got involved with - what a blast). There are SO many opportunities for volunteering, just be sure it's something you're interested in. Get active in a patriotic organization if you're eligible (American Legion or VFW) or your community's food bank or "soup kitchen". I'm not into organized religion, but if that's your thing get active in your church or whatever. Your husband is a doofus who needs to have a fire lit under him; maybe if you started volunteering someplace he'd get up off his butt and do the same. You two might just start a whole new life together, and wouldn't that be great?!

FIND YOURSELF Reply to this Comment

Hey I know at our age we feel lonely and our kids are gone and some of us are happily divorced....thank God, but we still are lonely. I find that giving myself special treats and learning more about myself is great. Find yourself my friend, you've change,,,your husband too, your kids are gone and now is time to take care of you, Pray for yourself and don't give up God. He is the only company must of us have. Meditate and find yourself.Make decisions and live for yourself

Hey Nancy Reply to this Comment

Hope by now you have found lots of people who want to share e-mails or chats with you, don't think a person can ever have enough friends. I was looking for a place to go and chat on line with people our age, just to meet new people and share the day
