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...

Senior Relationships for Baby Boomers

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

Some seniors are lonely. Please don't just Sit There and say you are lonely -- get out of that house. 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.

Sing It, Dean.... love it!

Marriage in Retirement

First, my own two cents on Retirement, Time to Invest in Your Marriage

Now, 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)Marriage in Retirement

Death of a Spouse

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, give yourself time, then kick yourself in the pants, and get back into life. Whomever is left is always stuck with more life, right?

Divorce at Retirement

Divorce at Retirement can be a great "freedom" into your new life, or can be terribly depressing. What about new relationships after divorce? Like anything in life, divorce 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!

Homemakers in Retirement - hopefully the "stay at home" moms, as retirees, have friends they can meet for lunch and some gardening. We need to maintain friendships into retirement. Homemakers, in retirement, do they ever really retire anyhow?

Adult Children

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. This is my own funny McDonald's for Retirees Story. Just a day with my parents, and yes, I am the Adult Child here. Grin!
