An excellent, thought provoking article. This also applies to people on long term leave, sick or whatever. I see this happening with my husband, who is not sure if he'll be able to return to work, and has been home almost a year. He's been going through a lot of the same emotions, now I understand why! I've printed the article for him.

This article is exactly what I went through for all the same reasons. I've never regretted retiring and absolutely love it. You can plan everything, which I did, but you can't plan emotions.

You can find so many ways to fill the day. Good luck to everyone. Retirment is so valuable...think how lucky you are to control your own day.
Just let it go

Like many of the people making comments here, I have no regrets nor any feelings of loss about leaving work in 05. Same as when I retired from the military in 1987. I didn't look back and haven't missed either life. And like some said, the old office is no more. It has been reorganized twice in 3 years and more than half the people have moved on or retired. After working continuously for 45 years I walked away and missed it not one whit. Me thinks the lady doth feel herself irreplaceable and that she left work undone. She should accept that perhaps that someone very ably stepped in and life at the office goes on. It is not hard. Just let go and become involved in other things that don't compensate her with money.
