Seeing family and friends passing away.

I guess it depends a lot on your beliefs, but when the time comes I wouldn't want to pass away and discover that none of my old family and friends were there, would you?

In my case getting around and being able to take care of myself.  Most people still can at my age (64) but I had several back surgeries when I was young (scoliosis) and the older I get the more difficulty I have walking, cleaning etc.  But I just do the best I can and keep going.

Lack of freedom to a higher degree. There are times where I just want to pick up and leave but remember that I have two kids in college that depend on me; two and a half well paying jobs that smolder out without me, a fifty year old jeep that is hard to start if she isn't loved everyday, two golden retrievers that look to me for their morning and evening walks, fusioncash (yep) and several other streams that need daily visits. Even getting away for a weekend is near impossible. I was sick for a week and it will take me two weeks to get caught up. I got back yesterday on the one job and had over one hundred and sixty e-mails. I had given thought to letting the night time job know that I am cleared to work again but I have been enjoying the small freedom and am hoping to whittle down the number of posts I need to catch up on!

Moving helps the aches and pains and those wrinkles are not frown lines but laugh lines

[rghvac69]

For me the most difficult thing about getting older is the aches and pains.

I agree with the aches and pains.  You can’t do everything you could when you were younger

Getting older

[natashaspy]

Losing loved ones more and more often is what bothers me the most.

I think there is a difference between beliefs and truth.

Last time i looked God told Adam he was going back to dust after death.Also Solomon said the dead are conscience of NOTHING.NON-existence.Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping i need to awaken him.

Oh thats right some of u dont support bible or re-write it.......my apologies for quoting it.References are gladly made if requested and dont do it ahead of time cos of lack of interest.

I think it  will be the fear of not being able to do some of the things I love
