Help for retirement transition in South Africa
From people who came through it
“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.”
Nim · been through retirement transition“I don't know what you're facing, but I know the quiet. I know the table for four. I know the meetup you leave early. It's okay to not know what's next. Just try one thing. One drink. One Tuesday at the charity shop. One call. It's not a solution. But it's something.”
Ken Ps · been through retirement transition“If you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. I remember volunteering at the charity shop like it was yesterday. I went on vacation in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. Keep going, even slowly.”
fernbird · 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.”
