Can my son who passed away 2 weeks ago send a sign to let me know he is okay? I'm so heartbroken over losing him so suddenly at 24 years old.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I just lost my son in April and he was only 30. I know it may sound crazy but my Son did. 10 days after he passed he said into one of our security cameras that he was okay. He said a few things in the cÃĄmara recordings and did some things to show us he was there for a little over a month or so then became quiet. The cameras we have are Blink cameras. I guess it depends on your son's ability to communicate. My son had a strong spirit. I never believed that could happen until my son did it. However, even though he did that, I still wonder if he is okay if he is resting in peace and wish every day that I he would visit me in my dreams to say hi and he loves me. I hope one day your Son is able to reach out to you somehow.

I lost my son, David 31 years ago. He was tragically killed by a driver in a large SUV. David was 12 years old. He always gave the strongest hugs, was so very kind to all and so very loving. Around a month later, I had a beautiful dream. He was sitting next to me and said he couldn’t come back, but that he was ok and we would be together again. Grief doesn’t end, it evolves. Your son will send a sign when you need it most. ♥️

I'm so sorry for your loss.
It's not a like comparison, but it's the only experience I have to draw from. I lost my Dad almost 10 years ago. My Dad and I were very close and the loss took me to my knees. So I understand desperately wanting that sign to know your son is okay, as I wanted to know the same about my Dad. That he still existed somewhere.

In short, yes. Your son can send that sign. My Dad did, but it took a bit. Mine came twice. Once in the form of an extremely vivid dream that was unlike any other that I've had before or since. The second, well, electronically, which given my Dad’s profession made perfect sense. I was out running and I had music playing through Bluetooth headphones connected to my phone, which was locked and in a running punch strapped to my waist. I started thinking about my Dad, which started the grief rolling and I began to cry on my run. Suddenly, my music and my headphones switched off. I stopped to find out what happened, and my phone had switched into airplane mode. That's not something that could happen accidentally. I could feel my Dad there saying, “enough already."

The message that I got from my Dad in my dream was, " yes, I'm okay.” Your son is too. It may take him a bit to come and tell you himself as he is learning his new existence right now. Give him time, and give yourself a little time for the rawness to scab over a bit. Sit quietly listen and feel. You may sense your son around you. He hasn't left.

Hugs from a distance. I know how hard grief is. I can only tell you that while the grief never heals, it does get better. You won't always be this raw and in this much physical pain. Take things minute by minute if that's all you can handle. You will come out on the other side. A very different person, but you will come out. Hang in there.

What triggers death at old age?
I was a weekly visitor to an old neighbor, 93 year old, who was in a nursing home. He was physically not so good, not sick, and still had his full wits.
One day he said: it is coming to an end.
I asked him why he said that and he answered: I feel it.
So he felt his body and life was coming to an end.
But he did not die instantaneously, but I noticed he was indeed fading away.
My last visit he was still in bed in the afternoon. I poured him a glass of port, which relieved him a little, and we talked. Again he said it was coming to an end. I did not believe him, made him promise he would not sneak away so I could come back the day after. But he did, that night, without any pain just like a candle burning out.
I believe that something in our system, cells, whatever at some time of life, decides it has been enough. And then you die, which he did. So lifetime triggers death, it was enough and he agreed with that. I have witnessed this more than once, life coming to the end.
Is it easier for men to live without women, or for women to live without men?
Fair Warning: I have absolutely no research to support this answer. I just have experience delivering Meals on Wheels.
The elderly women I have encountered living alone on my routes during the past five years seem to manage life much better than the men who are also on their own. The women often crave human contact, and I plan my routes at times around planning to spend 15 minutes or so “visiting” with some of them. But they remain engaged in life, wanting to know about my day, relating tales about children or grandkids, etc.
Many of the men seem shut off and enclosed in their own sad little world. They take the meals, no smiles, no inquires. Also, I’ve noticed, no pets. Most of my ladies have cats (dogs are hard on the elderly) and I sometimes drop off Meow Mix or treats. Almost all the men have no animals.
And they seem sadder and more isolated because of it.
AGAIN: ABSOLUTELY NO PROVEN RESEARCH TO ANY OF THIS. But, in my experience, the women handle life better than the men.
------
My personal opinion is that it is easier for women to live without men, for the following reasons:
It is easier for women to get social support outside marriage. Single women are accepted into new social groups much more easily than single men are. Single men are often viewed with suspicion and will need to be vetted more before being accepted.
I cannot find satisfaction with many largely shallow emotional connections. I want one person with whom I have a deep connection, and I stand on the strength of that foundation to power all my other relationships. Women, on the other hand, seem perfectly OK with spreading themselves thin. They like having a large number of friends, each of which supply one aspect of connection.
Men typically feel uncomfortable without access to sex. And without a steady partner, very few men are in a position to have access to this. Not so for women. Women seem fine with or without access to regular sex. If they do want sex, all they have to do is to pick one their friends and send a message. Very few men will refuse the offer.
These are my reasons. It isn't because, as some virulent feminists claim, we men need “a nurse or a purse”. Most men I know have plenty of money. I clean house and take care of myself. There is really nothing that I rely on my wife to do in that department. But true companionship is something that men need women for.
Is it really worth it to live for over 80 years?
Is it really worth it to live to over 80 years? I mean you would have a decreased quality of life. And a lot of the people you know would start to die off.
Having passed my 89th birthday in July, I have to say that it beats the alternative.
If I had died at 79 I would not have experienced watching the granddaughter that I have helped care for since she was a baby, grow into a little girl who just beams love at her Papa and her Nana. (As do her three older sisters.)
I would not be here to be engaged in a new family adventure taking place this year.
And my quality of life is just fine. For example, I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes and now can see without glasses for the first time in 40 years.
Yes, I don't run any marathons. But I never did.
Most people seem to think I still make sense when I answer questions on Quora (except for a couple of folks I had to block -- you know who you are).
I still drive, do the shopping.
I watch movies on a big screen at home.
It's still a good life.
---
I’m 79 and don’t feel a day past 40. People always guess my age to be in the upper 50s. I look in the mirror and simply can’t relate to being 79. I live by the adage that aging is a process, growing old is a choice. And I made the choice as far back as when I was a teenager that I’d live at least to be 100.
I started exercising at age 12 and soon came to realize how much better I felt about myself because I was always in such great shape. Now at 79 I’m still exercising every day plus walking 3 to 5 miles per day in addition to the exercise routine. I maintain a positive attitude about life even though my wife is slipping away due to dementia. And it’s the exercise, walking, and my attitude that help keep me mentally and physically in shape to care for her in addition to still finding enjoyment in my own life. It’s not a matter of is it worth it to live to over 80, it’s a matter of how hard are you willing to work at maintaining your health to make life worth living at any age? Get the word “old” out of your life, get active, be positive, stay involved, live for today, quit counting at what age “old” happens. In my life it will never happen.
How do I live alone with no love, friends, or family?
I am 82 yrs. old and I live by myself. All my friends have died or are in the nursing home. Family members won’t(or don’t) do anything to help. I have some medical problems and have to travel 50 miles(round trip) to see my doctors or go to hospital. I do not have one person I can call when I need any help with anything.

Right now I am having excruciating pain in my left leg and hip. I went to Dr. at a walk clinic near me. He sent me to get a CT scan the next morning. My pain was so bad, I had to have a wheelchair to go back into the X-ray area. I felt sure I had a blood clot because the pain was so severe. But the scan didn't show anything wrong.

What three things should a person avoid once they are past 70 years old?
I have been 70 now for a few months. Here are the things I choose to avoid from now til the day I leave this mortal coil
#1-the scorn of others for things I choose to do in my daily life. I refuse to have anyone tell me that what I wear, what I eat, what I do with my time isn’t what I should be doing. So what if I garden in my pajamas til noon. So what if I eat ice cream instead of a healthy balanced meal. So what if I decide one day to go solo hiking. So what if I read banned books. All of this is my choice and it does not affect anyone but me.

Why do old people get tired so easily?
My grandmother used to live in a gated 55+ community, and every morning she would go out early, before it got too hot, and walk two miles. She was in her eighties then, and as she walked past her neighbors sitting on their front porches, they’d say “You’re so good to walk every day. I should walk too.” She’d say “Well, I go at six every morning, you’re welcome to join me,” but they never would. She lived to be ninety-one, and until the last year of her life, she lived in her own home, looked after herself, and kept taking that two-mile walk every morning. As she got close to ninety, she slowed down a bit, and started using a cane for long walks (she nicknamed it “Gertie”) but she never ended up housebound or in a wheelchair like a lot of those neighbors, some of whom were 20 years younger than she was.

To sum up, as a doctor once told me, the less you do, the less you’ll be able to do, and the more you do, the more you’ll be able to do—obviously, you’ve got to know your body, and your health and rest when you need it, but if you wrap yourself in cotton wool because you’re “old and tired,” pretty soon you won’t be able to do anything.

How hard has old-age hit you?
Someone said to me the 70’s are the decade of transition. For many of us, that is so true. I am 72 and in the past three years have had four orthpedic surgeries. Now my knee is numb down to my foot. The docs say give it a year and see how things are then. I really wonder if the L3/L4 nerves will ever calm down because I can’t imagine it continuing like it is today. So how do you accept what forever health problems you are dealing with? It is hard to accept that it is out of my control.

I have a neighbor friend who is 82, and she is doing awesome. She walks up and down hills every day She visits all the home-bound neighbors and brightens their days. She does her yard work and takes care of her home with minimal help from her sons. She likes living by herself and has no desire to meet up with any more men. She is a widow now and loves all the freedom she has. She is an inspiration to us all. She never goes to a doctor and is so healthy! So, it’s worth every minute you get in this life.

After losing my wife to cancer a dozen years ago, I lived alone in the home we had owned for nearly forty years. That first year or so was not easy, of course, because of the loss. But I knew I would be okay - I just had to adjust to my new life without her. But living alone itself was not difficult.

Even though I was in my seventies at the time, I was active, had lots of friends, and had activities I enjoyed - including hiking and golf and taking road trips. I returned to teaching at the university half-time for a few years. And from time to time would either visit our adult son in San Francisco or he would come ‘home’ for visits. Living alone was not difficult, just different. Although alone, I never felt lonely.

EDIT
I am surprised at the number of responses this answer has received, and in particular from young people concerned about getting old
I am 84. My generation is probably the last generation to get old in the usual sense of 'getting old'
My predicted life expectancy is 81.5 years so I am already living on borrowed time
But 1 in 4 people will live past 100, and the first person to live to 150 is alive now. It may be me http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2011425/The-person-reach-150-alive--soon-live-THOUSAND-claims-scientist.html
But living for a long while is not the same as getting old
The normal image for an old person is
Loneliness
Loss of faculties
Becoming dependent on others
Being out of touch with the world
Constant illness
Confusion
Being house bound
