I want to live, everyday is a gift from God. Spend time with your family and friends, continue baking since you like to do that and are good at it and you mention how you and Mike like to go to do things outside like go to the beach, continue doing that.

@amadeo One thing comforting to me is reading the Bible. Have you thought about reading it?

@NJChicaa that the big problem.We do have a few but not too many.I sadden that most of our friends are gone and it it only Mike and I left in the circle of friends .This is what bothers me.It is hard to make new ones.Many do not want to hang out with old folks.We maybe old but still active.

I was losing interest in life, after my husband filed for a divorce. I wanted to die, but he left me with two children to raise, alone. Taking care of my children gave me hope for a new beginning. I stopped thinking about my pain and focused on getting well. Looking back, I'm so glad I had the children, to take care of! You have so much to be thankful for, Fredo You are valuable, to everyone around you!

@nomus24g Sorry TintinFan but if you really believe that why do anything?? I have a feeling you are still young--under 60--so your outlook is different. From what you say Alfredo should just give up because it is all written for him like he will spend the next 10 years being depressed because that is his destiny??? I would never think that and certainly not tell anyone that.

Life is always worth living for even when you can’t think of any reasons why. Life you only get one time so live it to the fullest like every day might be last. Go volunteer, help children learn to read, or write.

I'm sorry that you are feeling this way. Does it help you knowing that people like me, count on having you there, as a good friend, that I need and look forward to interacting with? Does it help you knowing that Mike and Ms Ruby and your children and grandchildren need you in their lives, as they love you dearly? I know that anything worthwhile is worth fighting for, so please, fight to keep your interest in life Fredo. We, the world, are not ready to part with you just yet.

This is just a phase, not only old people go through feelings like this. While you are old and you FEEL like there is nothing for you to do, there is! You have to look for it. At the moment I am at a stand still because I am working with Tony. I would love to go travel and see things, get a boyfriend etc. But I made a promise and I will honor it, After this job it over I am gonna get out and live like I am 35 again! Look around town for something new and exciting for you 2 to go do....its there always something to do.

That is such a personal choice but of course we want you to continue seeing the sunrise and the sunset each day. Thinking of good memories both past and present. And breathe in the air for a few minutes.

Don't tell me you're desperate. You've been living for more than 80'years and now you have made up your to give it up. But you've friends who care for you more than your family if you do have. Well, this is my unsolicited advice before you expire: 1. Keep accepting yourself as what you are. 2. Keep your friends who are loyal to you. 3. Keep your faith in the Lord for He won't forsake you. Have a wonderful day my friend.

Many are asking these questions - I went to my favorite site and found these articles - it seems this subject is important for many in these critical times..
Life can seem unbearable for any number of reasons: a loved one dies, a disaster strikes, or a spouse is unfaithful. But life is worth living despite any adversity.

Oh Alfredo, this question makes me so sad. What would Mike do without you, he would be so lonely. I know sometimes life gets hard but if you were to leave, you would leave Mike with a broken heart. Do you think he would survive after that, what would he have to live for. My son left this world and what he left behind was more pain and torment for those surviving. I love you my friend and I know things get tough, but when its your time you will know. Please don't choose before hand, you have so many friends on here to keep life interesting for you.

Come on Alfredo, how old are you? You know most of us are only going to get about 70 years here to learn and explore. After that it's back to the ether. You'll have a lot longer to explore that side once you get there but it'll be too late to change your mind. But I do know how you feel and how your thinking is going. Taking care of the ones you do sometimes it just feels like 'what about me' and what's the point'. Hey, give yourself permission to be in the dumps and get all depressed and down and cry a bit or just sit staring blankly out at the world. Then get off your butt and do something ridiculous. Hugs Hon and love to you
