Seeking Advice: Living Alone at 67 and Feeling Lost

Hi everyone,

My name is Ruby, and I’m reaching out to this wonderful community for some advice and support. I’m 67 years old and currently living alone. As the years go by, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to manage on my own, both physically and emotionally.

I’ve asked my children, Nathan, Kyle, and Ella, if I could move in with them, but they have their own lives and responsibilities, and they don’t think it’s a good idea. I understand their perspective, but it leaves me feeling very isolated and unsure of how to proceed.

I’m at a crossroads and don’t know what steps to take next. How do I cope with this loneliness? Are there any alternatives to moving in with my children that I might not have considered? How can I make my life more fulfilling and less lonely?

Any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.

Warm regards,

Ruby
