Rock, that’s a good analogy, the suit of lead. I often feel like that, especially with the chaos in this country now. This is when we need each other more than ever, yet we are so fractured now. Everything takes more effort than it used to and some days I feel my age.
I fear getting older in a country that doesn’t care for the older population. We all age and someday those people not caring for us will be our age….
It’s definitely more of a struggle to get support than to go without. Grief for example. I don’t feel like filling out forms and doing an “ intake” or screening over the phone. So weary of trying to make real connections rather just another acquaintance or “situational”/transactional “friend”. It’s like chipping away at a mountain with a little pickaxe. ⛏️
