Growing old is a process of accommodations and adjustments to a new way of living. Those of us who are able to adapt in these ways have a significantly better chance at finding meaning and purpose during the twilight of our lives.
Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are your life and relationships unfulfilling? Can't let go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Nothing gets better no matter what you try? Maybe it's time for a change!
Getting to advanced age can be a blessing, but it also presents many challenges. Retirement, lifestyle changes, health issues, cognitive decline, are just some of those challenges. Finding purpose and value in all life stages requires accepting changes and adapting to new circumstances.
