Nelson you are completely right in what you say, but there is no need to feel
helpless and sad at one’s situation. Here are a few ways you can combat it.
1. Stopping running around to fulfill your children’s family needs. No
babysitting (you have long completed that part), no doing their odd jobs
because they do full time jobs and think you have time on your hands.
2. Get out of the house daily on any pretext and meet for breakfast or
otherwise with a group of same age, like minded spirited friends who like to
have a laugh and don’t relapse too much into their medical problems.
3. Go for every event you can. With your wife if she wants to, alone if you
have to. Church feasts, cultural events, musical shows, village celebrations
are all fair game. Do the small things you wanted to do for which you never had
the time.
4. You have an in-hand voluntary project in P.C. Trust. Take it in new
directions, bring in young volunteers and scholarship beneficiaries to do the
physical work. You concentrate on the new creative ideas, delegation and
direction.
These activities will dispel all your feelings of being made to feel redundant,
unneeded and will bolster your self esteem.
