Senior Relationships -
We All Need Somebody!

"Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes..." as Dean Martin crooned, and Senior Relationships are really important. Now Dean does sing this as a love song, but ALL relationships are important...

Sing It, Dean.... love it!

Senior Relationships

As in pre-retirement days, we all need to share life with others. You don't necessarily need marriage, friends and family can keep you active too... we just need SOMEONE to chat to and enjoy others company.

Some seniors are lonely -- but please don't just Sit There and Say you are lonely -- get out of that house... grin! Just get out -- shop, eat out somewhere, start a conversation with someone having coffee somewhere, run to the library, just get out of that house.

Adult Children are one issue in retirement. This can be great for you (grandchildren you don't mind babysitting for), or it can be a hit on your pocketbook or home serenity if they move back in.

Friendships in Retirement - what some retired women think about their gal pals. We must value our friendships...

Have you ever considered Senior Pen Pals? You can connect with other seniors, nationwide or worldwide, to share thoughts, share life, email by email! Subscribe to my free Retirement Newsletter below to find new pals (delivered to your email box)!

Homemakers in Retirement - hopefully the "stay at home" moms have friends they can meet for lunch and some gardening.. and hopefully they maintain friendships into retirement. If not, if you've been too busy for years keeping up the household, now is the time to do something for YOU -- find some new friends! Homemakers, do they ever really retire anyhow?

Divorce at Retirement can be a great "freedom" into your new life, or can be terribly depressing. Like anything in life, it is what you make of it - get over the settlement and don't make the lawyers rich with your divorce fees (save that money for living) and build your new free life. If you need counseling to get past this, do it -- life awaits you! Info on Divorce Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO's and EDRO's) here.

Death of a Spouse is similar to divorce only there is no anger... usually. There is grief both ways, but you can get past this. Give yourself the time to grieve what you've lost then kick yourself in the pants, and get back into life.

Marriage in Retirement - Check out what some retirees think about their marriage (before and after retirement). What happened when retirement hit? Was it good or not so much? (See bottom of page)
