It seems like the hardest part of aging, from what I see is people become so set in there ways and not excepting change.
It's what keeps us in are home, and honestly keeps us back in a lot of ways. When we could enjoy life in maybe senior housing, with no upkeep and lawn work, but I see many seniors that can't except this and many other things that go along with change. Any thoughts or suggestions or whys of why this happens?
I am comfortable in my rut but can handle change as well. At 87 I'm the techie person in the house and I manage. There were/are challenges to downsizing my home of 40 years and moving to a different community, but I'm managing.
My mother taught herself to use a computer at age 94, and after retirement at 65 travelled 1/2 the year to Haiti to do volunteer work until she was 85. She enjoyed change, in fact I would say she sought it. At 86 she moved across the continent to be nearer family.
I've read that one major factor in managing old age successfully is being flexible. I guess that means managing change.
