Can people live alone during old age?

[DarkAngel]

lately i am thinking a lot about this.
i don't think i will have someone by my side and i don't know if i can do this alone

Yes. There are different reasons for people reaching old age by themselves.
Your health state also plays a role on how much you can get away without help. For what is worth, my grampa' was on his late 80s years old and he was lucid. He'd walk around the shops and live by himself.

You can also try to keep networking with likeminded people and keep some friendships. Around where I live there is a group of old ladies that meet for coffee pretty often through the week, so even if they live in different houses they still get good company and plenty of laughs.

It wouldn't be easy but if you have no choice, you will have to do it.
Name a beneficiary after your death and add a clause of taking good care of you

It's a dark thing to think about it, if you fall or get hurt, most likely you won't be found till it's too late. When you get too old, its best to move to an older community that can keep an eye out for you.

Glad to have time to come back

But we did this to our grandparents, got them into a community home where they could be with others their age. Ease our worry of them being home alone.
