At 50 my husband left me for a 26 yr old.Not only was it hard to accept aging but that was a very harsh reminder that it had arrived.

OP: Boy, we're getting a long way away from my original post, but, it's funny you should mention a dance studio. I've really been quite interested in taking ballroom dance. Alone, or not, depending on whether the BF will go, but I do think about it. It's good exercise and just looks so lovely, doesn't it? That said, I have a wonderful boyfriend that I love very much, so I'm not *lonely* in the sense I need to put up a personal ad. I'm must saying, this BF is wonderful, but, if we were meant to be life mates, I think it would ahve happened by now, and it hasn't (and that doesn't mean marriage, it just means comfort or security in knowing you're partners for life). I don't think it's going to happen, which adds to my fear that I won't have him to care for as he ages, and he won't have me to care for as I age, and that brings me back to my original fear. Who will? So I suppose I'm projecting future lonliness, even though I don't suffer it at the moment.
Anyway, as part of this secret, it got me to thinking I should think about doing it, instead of just thinking it. I visited my local senior center and volunteered myself for reading and visits with single / widowed residents.

At 55, I married for the first time. Now six years later, I'm sorry it took me so long to find her.

Believe me having kids will not insure that someone will be there for you. I am 46 and my son is 22. I was a single mom and raised him on my own. I made sure he had what he wanted while I went without. I have not gotten a mothers day card in 3 years....but he does call. Last year he called on mother's day. I was hoping he would at least stop by but he was putting brakes on his gf's moms car. The gf had gotten the brakes for her mom for mothers day. I saw him at the grocery store the other day and he informed me that he and the gf have bought her dad a big screen tv for fathers day. will I get a card this year? Probably not. But he does keep in touch. I saw him around christmas (he spends xmas with the gf'sfamily) when he stopped by to get his gift..an xbox. And he also calls if he needs a couple bucks. I hope as he gets older he will be more considerate but I doubt it. So again...having kids really does not insure you will be taken care of when you are old or when you die.

I am 40 and have never been married and I worry about the same thing. I thank God I met a friend who understands me. We always joke about being roomies in a nursing home.

I'm 34 and will never get married or have children. Having either one of those doesn't gaurantee that you will not die alone or be lonely. I'm happier by myself and doing whatever I please. When I'm old and cannot deal with life anymore, I'll take my life in my own hands.

I FEEL JUST LIKE YOU, BUT I DON'T CARE IF I AM ALONE IN THIS WORLD ON MY LAST DAY OF LIFE. I HAVE A PREPAID CREMATION BUT BEST OF ALL I HAVE CONQUERED DEATH IN JESUS CHRIST'S SALVATION FOR MY SOUL. AMEN (I HOPE YOU WILL FIND AN END TO YOUR FEARS LIKE I DID).

Just my opinion1 Could care less when I die and where my bondy lays! They can bury it, burn it or shellac it and turn into a coatrack! I know it is better to concentrate on what you need and must do with your life and how it affects others.

when you stop thinking about yourself and thinking of others others will take care of you when the time comes. Just because you are alone it does not mean you can not get involved and give love to people around you.

Having a kid doesn't mean you'll have someone to take care of you when you're old. Nursing homes are full of the forgotten and the residents who have no visitors are not all childless!

My mom died 3 years ago, dad was 84 I quit my job that I had for 19 years, sold my beautiful home and moved to Indian to live with him. He is 87 and drives me insane....but I love him and would do anything for him. He took care of me and now I will take care of him. He's a good man and such a loving father. We do argue but I would not trade him for anything. I love you dad.

I am a 57 year old woman, no husband, no children. I think we all die alone. I have donated my body to a local medical school so that my estate is not depleted by funeral expenses. I have sleeping pills if I get to the point where I cannot take care of myself. If I cannot have the someone special I want, I would rather live alone.

Who will bury you one day. What do you mean? Just make sure you are in agood insurance when its time for you to be buried and go to funeral home and make arrangements before you die and the funeral home will bury you.
