Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi Celtwitch, I am a Northerner and remember how beautiful the Lancashire moors are. Loved the area around Ribchester. I have also been on my own for a long time. 25 years is a long time. I was widowed when quite young. Family isn’t always as ‘cosy’ as the media would have us believe.. I am an ex-Deputy Headteacher and have had many surprising insights into ‘family life’ over the years. Have often been relieved I didn't have children although I had a superb relationship with my own mother and miss her in my life. Look forward to hearing from you sometime. CarolViewDate:

Will you be watching I'm a Celebrity this year?This is not how I want to be entertained. If I’m being brutally honest; I think it’s absolute rubbish!ViewDate:

Would you consider housemates later in life?Obviously, sharing your home with someone would require that person being someone you both liked and trusted but generally speaking, I think this is a much better idea than living in a strange place such as a care home and having to depend for your personal needs on carers many of whom are not compassionate towards older people and their problems at differing stages of old age. It would be rather nice to have someone one's own age to communicate with understand and rely on. I'm sure this would build confidence, lessen a fear of the future and thus ward off debilitating mental health issues. It would also mean one's family would not have such an immediate burden of worry or care. Older people tend to become needier just when their offspring are busy with their own family issues and jobs stresses. I feel the burden of guilt on family members would also be lessened a good deal with this option. I have four bedrooms in my home; one I use as an office but the 4th bedroom has a shower room attached and is quite self-contained. I have often thought about this idea. Finding the right person is key to success here and would probably need organizing in some way but I'm sure it could be successful if both parties were keen to make it work. As we all know, companionship is most important for one's mental health as one becomes older. This idea might mean older people remaining more independent for much longer and therefore becoming less of a burden on the state and their families for care.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi1am a newbie to silversurfers and live in Buckinghamshire a long way from Lancashire but would love to chat with you sometime if you’re interested. I was widowed in my 40s and have now lived alone for 25 years . Have friends and am involved in lots of interests but still feel Lonely from time to time as I do not have children Hadn’t realised just how isolating that could be. Anyway, if you’re interested please get in touch and let’s have a chat. -
