Nobody throws a retirement party for the person who leaves a year or two early. No sheet cake. No gold watch. No speech from the boss who still mispronounces your name. One week you’re sitting in the Monday meeting, and the next you’re standing in your kitchen at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday wondering what,
Every few weeks another headline lands with the same plot. Baby Boomers are holding on to the big family homes, millennials can’t get a foot in the door, and somebody should do something about it. Fortune recently framed it as a generational showdown, complete with Boomers pouring serious money into renovations instead of listing their
A client of mine, widowed after forty years of marriage, asked me last month if it was “too soon” or “too late” to start dating again. My answer: neither. There’s no clock on this. But the dating world she’s stepping back into looks nothing like the one she left, and it’s worth understanding before you
For years the story about a sharp memory in your 80s went something like this: some people just get lucky. Good genes, a fortunate draw, nothing you can do about it. If your parents forgot names in their 90s, you braced for the same. If your grandmother stayed razor sharp until she died at 95,
Picture a solo traveler. Go ahead, I’ll wait. If you pictured a 24 year old with a backpack and a GoPro, the data would like a word with you. Because the people actually leading the solo travel movement are the ones with a few more stamps in their passports and a lot more sense in
Somewhere in your house there’s probably a drawer with old ticket stubs in it. A musical you saw downtown. A museum exhibit you almost skipped. A concert where you stayed out later than you’d planned and regretted nothing. It turns out that drawer might be the most underrated health file you own. A new study
Ask a room full of people over 65 where they want to grow old, and the answer comes back fast. Home. My kitchen, my garden, my neighbors, my recliner that took eleven years to break in properly. The research backs up what we already know in our bones. A new Pew Research Center survey released
You have heard the story your whole life. After a certain birthday, it is all supposed to go one direction, and that direction is down. Slower, foggier, creakier, every year a little less than the last. It is such a common assumption that most people never think to question it. They just brace for it.
Somewhere along the way, most of us picked up the same story about aging. It goes like this: you peak, and then everything is a slow slide downhill. Your knees, your memory, your energy, all of it headed one direction. Here’s the thing. That story is wrong. And now we have the research to prove
Today my mom turns 90 years old, and I am sitting here trying to wrap my head around everything that number holds. Think about it. She was born in 1936 in rural Star City, Arkansas, back when the world hadn’t even heard of television yet. Ninety years is not just a long life. It’s practically
Celebrating Mom When the World Feels Out of Reach Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and for many of us, it looks a little different than the brunches and flower deliveries we grew up with. When your loved one has mobility issues, chronic illness, or other health challenges that keep them homebound — or when they’re
We had a bit of a scare last week. Mom came down with stomach and digestive issues early in the week, which left her not wanting to eat, and swallowing became painful. The nurses gave her stronger pain medication to help, but it hit her hard. She became disoriented, confused, withdrawn, and was sleeping very
