Going forwards, if I do live to an old age and outlive Mr Missy, I think I would prefer sheltered housing then live totally alone. Id want some sort of human contact daily, but be able to shut the door
When I was a child, a lot of grandparents were in sheltered accommodation , little self contained studio flats within a building but a central lounge area and a carer on duty 24/7 who could come. and help if you fell, got stuck in the bath etc

Re: Seniors living alone
HiI do not like living on my own.
Part of this is down to one part of my previous job, cleaning up after someone who has died weeks or months ago and had not been noticed.
I also miss the cuddles, the jokes, the smiles.
I am not very demanding at all, they can have their own life.
To me there is nothing as good as kissing the one you love goodnight and waking up and kissing them good morning.

Re: Seniors living alone
It took years for me to feel comfortable alone , I was so terribly lonely but over time it became normal and ok . I wouldn't want to live with someone again as I love my independence but yes I would love a companion to share life with , weekends with and fun with . I miss the hugs and holding hands and feeling that I'm loved|
