Help for retirement transition in Ireland
From people who came through it
“I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Retired in June after 38 years. That was my life. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does. Sending love.”
emberdust92 · been through retirement transition“Please be gentle with yourself and I wasn't, and it made everything harder and telling one person the full truth helped me more than anything, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
ray_spark · been through retirement transition“For anyone new to this: I was right where you are about three years ago. Back then, the days are too long. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Keep going, even slowly.”
todd_oak · been through retirement transition“A note for the next person. I was in the same place a year and a half ago. My wife has her own routine. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.”
