We all know the importance of financial security in retirement but have you ever stopped to think about the importance of psychological retirement? Who hasn't been to a financial advisor to gain insight into how our savings will last our life? But how many of us will seek psychological therapy to map out a framework for the last third of our lives? There are many challenges and changes that come with being retired. At first, life is like a holiday in that you do basically what you want when you want and how you want. Then one day you think, 'is this all there is to life?
There is a sense of being lost and loss and grief. You begin to miss the routine, relationships, and having a purpose and identity that come with a job. Added to this is an increase in divorce, depression, and a decline in both physical and mental capacity.
The next question is how do I make my life meaningful again? This can be trial and error, experimenting, facing disappointment, and failure. If you can persevere with this you will find your purpose in the last third of your life
