getting older is not talked about, so knowing what to expect would be a little bit easyer if there was more information about coping can anyone nelp. THANKS

Rose, what Hartmut is saying is very true. If you are healthy and your feelings come from a fear of growing old then this is good advice,
Joining a group that does Yoga, Meditation, or any form of looking inside yourself helps with the feelings of fear of becoming useless.
If you belong to a church or community group, this also can help you feel that you are important to others.
You never know, you might find that you have a wonderful skill that can help others in your community.
