Feel free to answer even if you are not a senior. If you don't mind, give your age. I am 60.

There is a waiting list a mile long at the hospitals around here.

I miss that, too...though I'm 46 and will have grandkids one day. A baby is the most soothing thing to hold, rock, talk to, to love. But I also like to take a walk through my local nature park and converse with God...He's a great listener ;)

If I need comfort I usually have a bath. If I am sad I sometimes rock myself to sleep. Somehow curling up into a fetal position has some kind of protective comforting factor.
Other times I take my dog for a walk on the beach - seeing my dog romping along without a care - with a face that looks like it is smiling - and being totally in the moment reminds me of how life should be.
I am 40 next month!

I am 33 and for me it is being in my husbands arms.
My Grandmother always said that she found comfort in the earth. I suppose that is why her garden was alway beautiful and plentiful. She was my comfort.

helping others in various ways. anything from sharing wisdom and knowledge to helping work in the garden to cleaning. by placing others needs first one can find themselves being useful in their society.

If you miss rocking babies so much, why don't you volunteer at your local hospital? I am sure their pediatric unit would welcome a grandmotherly type willing to sit for hours and rock the sick babies.

I take it that you can no longer do this? If so I'm sorry.
