On the other hand, if you're really unwell or unhappy I'm sure death is a release. I'm a bit younger than you but feel much the same as you do. Take care, Addy, hope you have spring in your step again soon. Being surrounded by so much illness is really hard.Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-29931598581306806452017-05-30T13:30:28.636+01:002017-05-30T13:30:28.636+01:00I suspect that when they age many people start to ...I suspect that when they age many people start to lose their grip on reality. Thinking becomes more blurry, former beliefs and opinions lose their sharpness, activity dwindles - all to such an extent that it is hard to say that this is the same person as the younger version we knew. I am 63 but I don't think I will live to a ripe old age. My father died at 65 and my oldest brother at 62. Maybe a relatively young death would be preferable to dementia in a care home as all of one's assets soak awayYorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-78445354844345576152017-05-29T23:10:29.049+01:002017-05-29T23:10:29.049+01:00There are days when I feel so tired I think I coul...There are days when I feel so tired I think I could quite happily just lay down and die. It's only the thought of the mess in the attic that keeps me going - I am determined to clear that up myself and not have some other poor sod having to go through it all!

I've lost a good few relatives and friends and I seem to be surrounded by people (some younger than me) who have incurable diseases etc. I suppose the older we get the more likely we are to have these things happen to the ones we love.<br />Plus we are surrounded by bad things happening.... like Manchester and the news reeling off the details.<br />We have to live a day at a time and be grateful to be still here!!!!!<br />I had a saying that I have to remind myself of sometimes......... I am a fighter and I won't give in! I guess we will know when it's time to give up........... or will we!<br />Maggie xMaggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183886005936250976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-35947935754153577642017-05-28T14:26:10.429+01:002017-05-28T14:26:10.429+01:00I celebrated my 83rd the other day and am still no...I celebrated my 83rd the other day and am still not ready to think about leaving this earth.
