Updated 2026. My mother passed at age 97 (2024) RIP. I will be updating this site so I can help retirees again. Write to me!
Emotional Support for Seniors
Mindset, happiness, anxiety & depression, lonliness, sleep...
As retirees, we often need emotional support for life issues... at least most of us do! WHY on earth do we need emotional help?
We've been through our educational years, marriage, kids, worked a lifetime -- only to have emotional issues?
I will say, every single retiree out there is different. Nothing I say applies to all -- that would make a very boring world, wouldn't it?
Happiness
If you are searching for retirement happiness, it isn't simple to find, is it? Happiness and peace of mind is often found in the little things in life.
Happiness is a mindset; you simply take time to notice the things in life, the unexpected, brings a smile to your heart, and you are grateful for everything around you that others might take for granted.
Anxiety & Depression
First, many of us do need help! We need to rethink life itself!
Our world collapses when we retire. Our coworkers are suddenly almost strangers (the work chit-chat is gone). Family is busy, still working. We've lost our work identity, so now what?
Anxiety/Depression raises its ugly head.
If this is YOU -- click the link. You'll read so many retiree stories from real retirees who've been through this before you, and so many provide feedback.
You will see these emotions don't affect just you!
Does anxiety cause insomnia? Good question! Sleep is so important as we age...
