getting older is not talked about, so knowing what to expect would be a little bit easyer if there was more information about coping can anyone nelp. THANKS

Hi Rose, just wanted to say that you've raised a great issue. All the comments to your post shows that people do care and that there are many options out there. You've taken the right step and that is reaching out to others. We all need this interaction with others. YOU are important, YOU do matter and WE do care. Even though i don't seem to have much practical information to share with you at the moment, I just wanted to show I care. Because, I suffer and have suffered from major clinical depression for years and have just (within the last 3 months spoke up about it, got help, although I'm still on unpaid leave) A big hug for you Rose! Make yourself a cuppa, sit down and imagine this vast online community is sharing it with you. Lots of love and sympathy Angelina :-)
