Just about to be 88 years old, I'm beginning to feel a bit fed up with it. Like Angela though, I'm waiting patiently "to be with Christ, which is far better", as the Apostle Paul wrote.

It's difficult because people often don't treat the elderly with respect. Also, there are many things one can't do because of fear of falling. For example, tennis and volleyball can be risky for older people

Marcy, Not being able to do things you use to do and more pain. Not afraid of dying because I can't wait to go to Heaven, but would be sad for one's who loved me.

Don't wait until you retire to start living. I work with elderly people and even if you are still young of heart and mind, an older body keeps you from doing so many things.

☻, it's a good idea to make good friends who will be a comfort for the difficult time when your parents are gone. Being surrounded by family helped me when I lost each of my parents.

I was worried about aging when I was younger, but now that I'm 70, I realise that I don't feel any different. I've also had health problems in the past that I don't suffer any more. I don't believe in an afterlife. My upbringing involved believing that Jesus will come back. I think it absurd that one should believe that to be "saved." Being a good person should be the criteria!

Vicki , When I was in school,we had a kinda group. We visited a nursing home once a week. I loved to listen to their stories. They knew so many things. Also I used to read for some of the others. It really was a great experience.

I was at a crowded counter in a bar and a young guy said to the barmaid "Serve the old guy first". I turned to him and said "If you leave here tonight and get hit by a car and I am destined to live one second longer, you are the old man." I turned to tye barmaid and said "Serve destiny's child first."
