Is there a newsletter for those of us who facing old age and its limitations?

Not sure if you have already, but it is always great to join AARP. They have a newspaper/magazine each month as well as group chat with many other seniors and professionals about various topics that affect seniors. One such group chat or what they call a town hall meeting was about Scams and what to look for and how to avoid them. AARP is great to belong to and a true benefit to any senior. They also have advocacy groups that fight for your rights and lobby the government.

I'm 62, hubs is 64 w/3 adult sons. We are in the process of finalizing a Living Trust (through an elder law/estate planning attorney), and getting all our important legal docs finalized (which we will review every few years to update as needed). If you have children, this is not only a gift to yourself but to your kids. Also discuss your hopes about how you will be cared for: do you expect your children to do it like you did for your mother? If so, I'd strongly suggest you let them know this now and ask them if they're willing so they have a chance to ponder whether they want this very big and life-altering responsibility. You would also need to provide funding for this. If they say no, then at least you can continue to prepare appropriately. This is as important as keeping yourself in shape. My 62-yr old very fit cousin just died sitting on his couch from Afib. Undetectable before and after death, and could not have been avoided. Many things are not in our control, including our health. "Dying from Dementia" isn't the problem...living with it is. Just have your doc give you the cognitive exam every year so that you have a baseline for normal. Don't fret about declining and dying -- prep for the worst, and live out your best every day.

Perhaps someone would like to start a thread (question/discussion) about 'Facing our Own old age'.

The other things that you can do to help yourself would be to consult with an Elder Care Attorney and make sure you have all the papers you need completed assigning someone as POA for health, one for finances (can be the same person)

Keep active, do "good" volunteer or other things that keep you engaged and with a "purpose"
