| Does Anyone Else Worry About Growing Old Alone?

Put yourself out there, pursue your passions, and trust me, before long you'll have trouble finding enough "Michaela time" to be alone... and will greatly improve your odds of finding that "special someone," too ;). | |

Posted: 7/21/2009 11:02:27 AM | | i have to agree to a point, dementia does keep a person from seeing the reality of things and that could be good. not for the family members, tho. it's just something that you learn to deal with, my mother developed alzheimers just before she died and she didn't know what was happening to her. but the nursing home was pretty bad because of overcrowding in the dementia ward.that is my concern, me being a lot of trouble if the same thing happens to me.personally , i didn't plan on being alone as i age, but i feel that most people dont have the family values that they used to years ago. | |

Posted: 7/21/2009 2:48:48 PM | I'm already growing oldER alone, and, yes--I fear the inevitable...that I'll die alone and no one will care until they notice the stink of my corpse ripening up the place after two weeks lol.
But I have family and friends, so I'm not THAT alone. While it'd be nice to be intimate with someone, friendship and family are more important. Trick is welcoming someone into my family who I can also explore sexual desires and fantasies with lol. Someone to bring home to Mom & Dad who's also a vixen in the sack...THAT's the trick. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 12:49:46 PM | | Yes, I have worried about this every single day for the past five years now. That doesn't mean that I am just looking to grab the first person that comes along, I am really looking for someone that is right for me, but it is something that I constantly think about. | |

Posted: 8/19/2009 4:29:35 PM | | when it comes to finding someone now a days , I hate to be grim, but finding a soulmate is rough in the times. I mean the world has gotten smaller, people have the ability to bug each other with all this text crap and cell phones and internets, as far as growing alone, we never truly are alone, think about you and your 3 other personalities are always in the room together with and death, lol. | |

No one dies alone unless they die in their sleep or some such thing. Most of the time you're in a hospital doing it, hardly alone.
I don't worry about aging alone. Aging women I know have some pretty exciting lives. I plan on having just as much fun as they are. Hell, no kids to take care of, grandkids to spoil whenever I want to.
I would worry more over health problems and suffering than I would over whether I'm going to die alone.
We came in alone...and we're going out alone. Hopefully we will feel ready when our time comes. Living a fulfilling life isn't about some man or woman. Life is full of so much more than a life partner. There's a whole world out there. | |
