Trails end for the last lone cowpoke

Trails end for the last lone cowpoke This is a group which shares ideas and experiences of those who are elder orphans, or very close to being the last of your family line, without any spouse

There's a lot of us, who are the end of the family line, who've never married, and are the "caboose" at the end of the train. We have a lot of things in common to consider, when thinking about the last chapter of our lives. Let's talk them out, and see if we have any wisdom in tying up the end of our lives, with some dignity. In many cases, poor choices with money, or pre-empted life long careers,

did not go as planned or hoped. You may have also had been married and lost your spouse, without any other family remaining. Maybe we're "elder" orphans of a sort ? Or potential elder orphans, in our modern society ? We'll try not to get "down" beat, but find ways toward realizing what we have. Perhaps there are more of us worldwide, due to changes in society, and the maturing of the human community ? Being "baby boomers" birthed after a major war, which changed the world, in some new way not previously acknowledged or documented ?

Do you feel any responsibility for just how bad things are going right now ? Will you feel any guilt when you finally leave this world, for the "mess" we are in ? We thought some times that earlier generations were serving up a platter of problems that were difficult for us, the next generation to solve. Is bad politics, a cumulatively built toxic atmosphere ?

We want to be relevant in supporting each others, as best we can. We don't have family to communicate with, and need some way for daily contact, even if it's on a lower level of just general daily things. We're old enough, and we have plenty to be insightful about from our experiences. Hindsight is 20/20, and many times, the overview of all the years brings it all into focus. What general knowledge or experiences in your life, do you still feel envigored about ? Sometimes, late at night, "deep" memories come back after decades. I try and write them down, or give myself small clues, as to what I had rediscovered. Then, I share it on Facebook the next day and see what similar experiences others have in their lives ! These types of things might be the memories you would have shared if you had family !

In a few classic Western movies, cowpokes may end up alone due to circumstances beyond their control. The condition seems to be more prevalent across the whole population now, and some folks are tired of being a third wheel in friends lives, and hearing of children and grandchildren . Now, if you're close enough to your friends, their family may adopt you as an uncle or aunt.

If you're by yourself, as a senior, without family or spouse you can join "Elder Orphans" , which is the name for our demographic . There are even a few regional groups set up, so EO's can meet to eat or celebrate holidays together !

This group is kind of for those who are the last remaining caboose in a family line. Some are called elder orphans, may be a widow or widower, and have no kids, just by circumstance. We're all part of the human family, even if we haven't been prolific !

Many times, older siblings really don't set up we "youngers" for their end of life tasks, because they still view us as little kids ! :) They also like choosing friends their own age, who they may have closer life long relationships with !

We're just a talkin' page and not a business, just sharing life's memories, successes and failure to learn from.

Not everybody gets a life like that of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, riding and singing off into the sunset. No need to be grumpy about it, or review past chances, to find blame. If everyone had families, a lot of nice places would probably be more gridlocked with traffic. Here's hoping you found the time to be in a few of those nice places that this planet provides , and realize what a miracle life on earth can be ! :)

It can be said, you can't put memories in the bank, or use them for collateral for a loan, but you can share them, and the joy derived from it ! That's one of the best things Facebook can do for you. Here, you can put them into printed words for others to access, even long after you're gone. You may have a bigger reader audience than you ever had anywhere else ! You may only have a part of a memory, but someone else may be able to finish or confirm it ! It may well be your only chance of immortality in this life.

Getting close to Father's Day ! Our own Dad's have long traveled into the sunset, but we can still encourage the young to celebrate theirs, or those who have stood in for them ! Not everybody can have a marriage and kids but many can still be father figures.
