Fear Of The Future

As a person grows older, the certainty of death becomes more realistic and can usually be a source of apprehension and worry. But many retirees also struggle with concerns linked to pre-mortality matters. They may be asking themselves:

  • If my physical health declines, will I have to give up the hobbies I love?
  • Will my life still have meaning if I’m no longer useful?
  • How long will I be able to take care of myself?

  • Will I lose my mental capabilities?

None of these questions have any definitive answers. And wondering what the future will hold can be a source of a lot of anxiety for your aging loved one.
