“When I spend time with my two grand kids I feel young again” – Community Correspondent Lorna’s reflections on age and wellbeing

A post from our Community Correspondent Lorna Cosh as part of our age and wellbeing series.

I don’t feel 58 until I look in the mirror. But then, when I spend time with my two grand kids, I feel young again.

If my sixteen year old self could see me, she’d tell me to stop being so anxious and to be strong within.I would go back to that age. There are things that I’d change. Big regrets.

My physical health problems began when I was 48. I’m still struggling with that.

But having grand kids is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Seeing them takes away my pain. That’s the best thing about getting older.
