I feel a bit angry at the physical changes that have been happening the last 2 years or so. 40 wasn't bad but suddenly I hit my mid-40s and it's like I didn't get the memo that everything about my body I knew to be true, wasn't true anymore.

I'm 60 but just trying to find my feet now my youngest daughter (21) has left home. I thought I was making headway but my mum's recent death, and the now daily visits to check on my dad, have changed all that. I'm occupied all the time but it doesn't feel 'enough'.

No helpful suggestions about what to do over those next four years abroad. I really try to not think so much about my age and to just live each day. I'm now older than my older sister was when she died, and whenever I'm not liking my age I think of her and how glad she would be to be my age!
