Depressed getting old at 64

[Forgivenmom5]

I am a few years younger than you but I am going through cancer treatments. I try not to think about what can happen but enjoy each day. It is hard sometimes but I try to remember the song "This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it." I really have to make myself do this some days and those days the ladies here are a lot of strength. I am sure they will help you too.

God bless you, I will be praying for you. You have a lot of strength and faith.

I thank you all so much, should not feel sorry for myself. My husband battled prostate cancer but is cancer free now, retired but has a 10 acre hobby farm and he works 12 hours a day. I suffer from fibromyalgia that keeps me in pain all of the time, and fatiqued, so trips are out of the question. No close family members, only 2 grandchildren that we see on birthday's and Christmas.
BUT, I have my yorkie that brightens my life with her love and kisses. I have so much to be thankful for.
I do keep in touch with many old friends and family by email.
Thanks again for your support.

I think about that same phrase just about every day when I'm walking my Yorkies. I too had cancer at 53 and am 60 now. I am so busy each day doing what I like to do (crochet, yard work, animals (birds and Yorkies), reading, etc. that I really enjoy each day. I have met lots of people since we moved here and we have a very busy social schedule. If your husband wants to wallow in misery let him. You can't change him but you can take charge of your own life. Remember, life is what you make it!
