This newsletter really resonates with me. Most especially the courage part. I’ve lost mine along the way as well and I don’t think I can regain it.

You have captured the losses that come with “a considerable age” magnificently. I am facing all of those losses, with the loss of hair being the most upsetting. Bravo on a beautifully written piece.

as usual a great piece coming out of a Considerable Age! it is always cosseting and solacing to read how others deal with what a Considerable Age doles out!

thank you Ruth for putting things into perspective!

This post is, in its own way, consoling. I'm glad it's not just me. Brilliantly and sensitively written!

We give, we take, we share, we gain, and we also lose. But not really. I loved your thoughts and the way you spoke them out to us.

Charming piece. Just don't lose that husband of yours...it sounds like he gets you!
