Good afternoon, I always wonder if people have the same issues I have daily.

Can they understand me? I fear of everything around me and I have a problem with food and gaining weight. I am happy for one day and then I can feel the world is not for me. I have a fear that the way I handle life may hurt the people closest to me...

Hi dear, I remember when my dad retired. My mom would come home from work ( as they

were 10 years apart) and she'd find him sitting on the couch watching tv (day after day)

This was a man who was always busy with home projects and never enough time to do

them when working. His demeanor had changed as he said to my mother, "this is what

you do when you're retired"...

Somehow we tend to think that retirement age means we stop living and just sit there

and vegetate. Not true. We must keep our mind active or we lose it.

Lying in bed Griefsucks does nothing but promote our loneliness and build our fear.

Your daughter loves you and I'm sure is worried about her mother just lying there

all day watching tv. Non productive life makes one dull and listless. It's important that

you take that first step in finding something to do during the day. Something to look

forward to when you wake up each morning... Wishing you well :) xx
