Your grandma's not the only one. I saw a 72 year old lady yesterday who is in good health (her complaint was a sore toe) but losing her memory and bored with her husband of 50+ years. She came to our clinic to have someone to TALK to....
Certainly, as we age, there are plenty of things that go wrong that we just can't fix. Seems increasingly important to help people remain engaged in LIFE so that the accumulation of insults doesn't end up being depressing and ultimately paralyzing.
