'I'm worried when I give up work I'll feel no sense of purpose and be seen as an old has-been'

Dear Coleen

I’m a 65-year-old woman with grown-up children and I’m also a grandma. I still work three days a week but I feel ready to retire and spend more time with family, and also enjoy activities with my husband who retired two years ago.

I have a good social life and I’m still fit and healthy. I enjoy walking and going to various classes as well.
