The bad thing about living in a senior community is that everyone is getting older and sicker, perhaps, so we yearly lose friends and neighbors. This year alone, for instance, six of our neighbors and friends have died. This is compounded by the fact that many of those who live in our little gated community are winter visitors who may go to their other home for the summer, get ill and not return. Last year we lost three friends. It seems this year we are almost in a continuous state of mourning.
The hopeful part of the entire situation is, however, that some of those who have lost wives and/or companions have formed bonds with others in our small world and new pairings are being formed. Right now there are several such relationships. It just proves that it is never too late in life to start over.
