Being a Man in Your 60s
The emotional landscape of your 60s — what's happening beneath the noise of daily life, which feelings surface most, and where to look for help.
What's actually happening in your 60s
Your 60s are when the scaffolding comes down. The career that organized your days. The marriage that might end. The friends who start to die. Most men aren't prepared because no one prepared them. The ones who do this well started the emotional work in their 50s.
Themes that show up most: retirement identity shift, first real grief (spouses, peers), health management as full-time work, relationship with adult children, grandchildren, becoming a widower
