Loss & Uncertainty

Loss & Uncertainty

There is something about aging that involves fear of the unknown. There is loss and surrender, which causes me to fear. I am the youngest of six siblings, my oldest brother will be 85 this year. He is in good health except for chronic back issues and pain. The rest of my siblings are 83, 78, 77, and 76. I look at the next 10 years as a series of potential losses for me.
