Retirement forced upon me

Lizbeth, you are a person not a job. Plenty of time, plenty of scope to do plenty of other things - but give yourself a bit of a rest first, and try not to think about work. Happy landing,

Lizbeth, I know it will be a big change for you, but it will give you more time to do the things you want, hobbies,travelling. not being woken up by an alarm, and personally, I couldn't wait to retire and have never regretted it , so enjoy doing all the things you never had time for..

Thanks hopefully eventually 🙏

I can imagine how strange and scary this must feel after 35 years in the same place. It's not just a job you're leaving, it's a big part of your everyday life. Give yourself time to adjust and don't feel you need to have retirement all figured out from day one. You'll find your feet again, just take it one day at a time.

Thank you x

Treat it as an extended holiday for the first month or so.
