Facing My Future as An Older, Divorced Worker

Facing My Future as An Older, Divorced Worker I've reached a point in my life where all I want is some distance from emotional turmoil and financial want, but as a single, divorced, and childless person who has entered her 60s I am confronted with so many new issues, that at times I am almost paralyzed with fear and indecision. In my 20's I used to sing the Beatles' "When I'm 64" to my young husband:  "Will you still need me?  Will you still feed me?  When I'm 64?" Need me, feed me, indeed. Those words have come to haunt me this past decade, for it is clear that I have become my own nurturer and will be my sole source of support as I enter my golden years. My savings have been eroded by our nation's terrible economic downturn, and the nest egg I had saved has been reduced substantially. I had a serious discussion recently with my geriatric parents about my fears for the future. They are still married and living in an addition built onto my br

Dealing With Anxiety After Divorce

Dealing With Anxiety After Divorce It happened suddenly when I was walking my dog - my heart raced painfully in my chest, I felt faint, and I struggled to breathe.

As soon as I felt that I could deal with the consequences of the end of my marriage, I weened myself off the drug. Instead, I found other more natural ways to deal with my worries: Forging new friendships Regular Exercise  Pursuing new hobbies Gardening Immersing myself in me

The Stress of Divorce

The Stress of Divorce No one can predict how they will react to the stress of divorce until it happens to them. I never thought that the time would come when my soul mate would leave me. We had survived over 26 years of marriage, the first six of which we worked during the day and attended school at night. We could not sell our first house and had to carry a mortgage while paying rent and attending school, never knowing we qualified for food stamps. We never felt poor, you see, and regarded our life as a big adventure.  We bought our second house during the early eighties when double digit mortgages were the norm, and did not finish paying back our school loans until well into our forties. I enjoyed only 5 years of financial good times before my husband got restless and left. At 50 I was caught flat footed and completely by surprise. We had weathered so many storms to achieve our dreams. I was sure we were coasting into the third chapter of our lives together, which included plans for
