I don't think this is depression (was treated earlier this year), rather more a rational awareness. How do I reconcile myself to the fact the best bits are over? My overwhelming mode is flat and tired.

All things are only for a season, and living with (or at least near) your son and grandchildren (assuming you will have some) would be ideal, I believe, for the new season ahead...kind of like re-living or reflecting days past without being the one responsible for making all things happen. I had that for a time and enjoyed it immensely, and now my own challenge is to endure "flat and tired" while watching for occasional snippets.
