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?
• Can I manage losing my loved ones?
• 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.
