Retirement Taught Me Something Nobody Tells You About
Life after retirement isn't what anyone tells you it will be. I woke up Monday morning and went straight to my computer — forgetting I no longer have a boss to report to. After 40 years of working, I'm discovering that retirement loneliness isn't just about being alone. It's about losing the self you built around your work. The retirement identity crisis is real — and nobody warns you about it. The phantom Sunday night anxiety that has nowhere to go. The voice that whispers: if I'm not working, am I wasting my life? In this video, I share what God is showing me through Psalm 46:10 — and the three small Monday morning practices helping me shift from a life of doing to a life of being. If you're navigating life after retirement, living alone after 60, or starting over after 60 in a season you didn't expect — I think this will speak right to where you are. 📚BOOKS by SUZANNE E ANDERSON — A Map of Heaven — A novel for anyone searching for healing, purpose, and the quiet certainty that God isn't finished with you yet. https://amzn.to/4nKundp All Dogs Go to Heaven — A faith-filled story for everyone who has ever loved and lost a dog.
