Hello how're you doing today hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

Sandra our little talk this morning is so healing. My first husband was seven years older than I and he died after 48 years of marriage with health issues. I often thought of the difference of our relationship late in life and what it was in earlier years. The Lord blessed me 13 years ago with a wonderful man. He was 5 years younger than I. He passed December 26, 2021. Another life change that I know I will accept and adjust to. I am 83 as you are and acceptance, faith and perseverance is key to going on. I was very privileged to be caregiver for the closing years of two wonderful men and I don’t regret one minute. It was not a movie ending for sure. But, I’m on this road and where God leads me I will follow. I so enjoyed talking with you this morning. I know I’m not alone with the same thoughts you shared. So love our chats.

This message of acceptance is what I needed to hear first thing this morning. Both of my adult sons are missing from my life again. I don't know if they're alive or dead. It is hard not to live in fear when the worst news may come at any time. I cannot control their choices. If I want to continue to live I must instead focus on the goodness and beauty in my own life.

Your statement that Arthur is no longer the man you married really echoes a statement I’ve made many times during the recent years with my husband - who is also 14 years my senior. I’ve come to recognize that he’s the man I’m married to, and I’m also his caretaker. He’s now in hospice and our journey together is nearing its end. I can’t tell how much I appreciate this video. Your healthy love filled approach brings me much comfort and I hope your knowing that there are others out here in similar situations helps you as well. May the times you and Arthur have ahead of you be good and I’ll leave with this…i have a sign in the kitchen reminding me to put the fun in dysfunctional and I’ve come daily to understand that the only part of my life I can control is my attitude towards and acceptance of events as they unfold. At my age I have little time to waste on negative emotions like self pity, recriminations or anger. I’ve used up my measure of those - that bucket is pretty much empty. You’ve helped me so much. Thank you for being here for me. ❤️

Today is my 30’s birthday . I always love listening to Sandra.

I was 46 when my husband and I realized that our relationship was not the same anymore. We too had a big age difference, but in our case, he was younger. He had been drinking for the previous 3 or 4 years quite heavily and generally was very whiny about his life. Regardless of that, it was extremely difficult for me to accept that we shouldn't be together anymore (that was his desire). Only in the process of our divorce, I started seeing that he really was not the same person I married and loved all these years. I was really struck by the difference and by the fact that I didn't see it earlier! It actually helped me a lot in getting over the divorce when I saw that that was a stranger and that I wouldn't marry that man if I met him now. But it was extremely difficult for me to let go of the man he used to be and that I loved so much and was happy with(((. I'm still not over it completely.

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

So life doesn’t look as ideal as I thought. Only my husband is just 5 years older than I. I am 61. He is in a study for early onset Alzheimer’s and although things are relatively fine now, our future is tenuous. I can’t help but worry for both of us, but he seems to be able to go with the flow a bit better than I am able. I am trying to give it to G-d and “let it be”, but I can’t help but wonder what is in store for us, and for me. I am sure that sounds selfish, but I have been a caretaker of our parents for most of my adult life and although I don’t regret a moment of it, I thought I would be able to exhale. I am more introverted, so it can be hard for me. I appreciate this channel so much. Thanks for letting me have someone to have coffee with in the morning. Peace. Let it be. ✨🕊✨

Such a good message Sandra (my name is Sandra too). My husband was 11 almost 12 years older than me, he passed away seven years ago and in the last year of his life he started changing mentally and emotionally. He didn’t have Alzheimer’s or dementia but he was not the same person and he was not happy. I can very much relate to what you’re going to be facing when Arthur comes back. I wish you peace and patience and from following you I know you are very patient person, I was not, and I have regrets about that, but….

Wow so many layers to what you have shared today. I needed to hear all of them. I believe that God puts people in our path at exactly the right time and this especially true for me today.Thank you for sharing such a personal walk with us. So many of us need mentoring from a person who is wise and willing to share and be transparent about the struggles of life and you are a treasure Sandra. You’ve given me many things to think about today.Blessings to you and Arthur as you move forward through this life that you share together.

Sandra, your recent videos in which you share what’s going on with Arthur have really hit home for me. And that includes the last interview with Arthur. In early December I lost my 95 year old father to Alzheimer’s. To say it wasn’t easy for his wife is an understatement. She is 85. I am very thankful that although her health isn’t perfect she was able to care for him as long as possible. It was hard too to see him cry when he found himself unable to remember things or when he did remember that he had acted in a hurtful way to his wife. It is a terrible disease. Until his decline my father was working on the computer, doing crossword puzzles every morning, writing emails to me and my sister. He had been physically fit with no health problems. You are an inspiration to all of us. And you and Arthur are and have been in my thoughts.

Thank you so much Sandra for our talk today. Your strength and courage is such an inspiration to me, as are the tears you cry in secret. My husband is also much older than I. A person who was once tall and strong is now frail and bent. He tries to do all the things he once did, but I can see that we may soon have to leave our country home . He sleeps a lot, and sometimes I just lay beside him, grateful I can hear the soft sound of his breathing. My heart is with you and Arthur.

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

Hard times for you and Arthur, I realize. I have no words for you that you most likely haven’t heard before. We will always remain Arthur’s fans. The main reason for me is the pride he showed when talking with and about you. I have been caregiving for my Dad the last seven years. He is 92. My patience level with him is alright some days and exhausted on other days. He considers himself independent, by the way. I guess my unsolicited advice would be to leave the house daily, even for half an hour. I think that helps. Accept help when genuinely offered by friends and acquaintances. You can always “complain” to us if it will help. No one can be a saint every day under these circumstances. All best wishes.

I have been watching you everyday for 4 days, thank you for helping me thru my depression that I'm going thru right now. Thank you.

Sandra you are very important to me. I have always sought out mentors for the next phase of my life, in books, movies or online, and you and Jane Goodall are my mentors now. I am not quite 70, but you and Jane are modeling the 70s and 80s I want. Purposeful, graceful, beautiful, active. Thank you for being a trailblazer for me.

Oh my. Gratitude and acceptance. So important and so difficult at times. I have been married for 50 years this coming May. We married in our very early 20s. So we have basically grown up together. We are the extreme opposite personalities. And in the beginning, that was exciting. But over the years, it has created many many challenges, to say the least. And now in my 70s, I have stopped struggling with the many differences and try daily to accept and be grateful that we are still here!

Thank you so much…and I do hope everything just work out for the best… many blessings

Like my grandma she is healthy then one day she just died. But all of us have different path. And I hope Sandra as your fan here in youtube .

Hello 👋 how're you doing today?

Sandra, thank you for this video. I've been a fan for a while now. Your channel has uplifted so many with the sharing and information all relevant to women in their 60 plus years. I've watched it with great interest. We have enjoyed Arthur and have respect for his privacy in the remaining years. I had a love affair of 52 years with my husband who passed away last August at 82. He died suddenly just short of our 50th anniversary and was 10 years older than me. We went through all the stages of our life together, energetically and with humor. We had the benefit of living in Florida 17 winters and still living in our family house in Massachusetts the rest of the year. We had to work part time jobs in both places to do that so we never retired. That had the benefit of stimulation and interaction. I have supportive sons. I am faced with personal choices and decisions now but I've chosen my attitude and am doing fantastically well considering I move forward alone. I'm a happy woman and still have ideas and dreams to pursue. And I encourage others. I know you will face new circumstances with the same grace that you offer us on a regular basis. Take care of you, too. We cheer you on. xoxo

Bless you Sandra,my love and hugs sent from uk. I do know,like a lot of other people...what you are going through.xxmy husband was 15 years older than me,and like you I had to adapt when he got dementia and I became his carer.but I did that with love the same as I did for my mom.the only bit of advice I can give you Sandra,because you are such a lovely intelligent lady,please when Arthur returns try to take some time for yourself,as it is very wearing, day after day.it is so easy to lose yourself!! And that would be aweful when you have kept yourself active,mentally and physically so well for your age...you actually look and seem a lot younger.anyway as you say,we are all on this journey with you,and for you.xxgodbless you my dear,lots of love and a hug from uk.xxxx

Thank you so much for all your wonderful advice. I certainly will listen to what you have had to say and will try to apply it in my life as well. Thank you again

Sandra, as usual, my heart goes out to you and I admire you so much. I have written before, but my Bill was 11 years older than I. He was so wonderful, always cheerful and funny and loved life. We shared everything including 22 trips to Switzerland to hike. He had Alzheimer’s for the last 10 years of his life and died in 2019. The first and most difficult thing I faced was acceptance of his disease, which increased over the years. As I worked through that, I began to learn gratitude for all the good things we still had, and new things that we could look at with humor and thankfulness. It wasn’t easy, and I jus looked back on a journal of mine and was amazed to see how difficult it was. Bur gratitude and faith helped me through it and now the best things remain. Our little 14 year old toy poodle died 3 weeks before Bill did, and I had to know they were romping together at the Rainbow Bridge with Mindy well and happy to be with him, and Bill remembered who she was and was delighted! I loved your talk this morning and it helps me to know I am building a positive life, remembering the happiness we had which enriches my life daily, and treasuring my new little (challenging!) toy poodle - the light of my life. I hope this helps you in some way but I am praying for you and send lots of love! Nancy Decker

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

Sandra I loved your message today. I’m married for 55 years and known my husband about 60 years. So we already walked a lifetime together. I must say, like everyone, we had our up and downs I never thought that we will be so blessed and happy as we have been after so many years then. 12 years ago he had opened heart surgery for a bypassed for 4 veins I really thought he would not make it. We all went through a tuff time. Thanking God he made it. He became fit and well again. Last year he was diagnosed with Dementia! I’m still fighting to accept it is true and it can’t be stopped. My hope is in God that He will carry us Through and be with us. You must have a lovely day and Thankyou for being on KZread and that I can listening to your messages✨🕊🙌

Hello Sandra... I really enjoyed this video. Couldnt help getting a bit emotional. True what u say..lm married for 41 years nd seen the changes taking place... I also feel that my hubby is not the same man l married. But you carry on and life teaches us to accept. May the All Mighty grant you strength to deal with whatever is coming your way. Your a strong lady just love you to bits. Keep smiling nd have a great day.

You are special, Sandra. Thanks for the inspiration. Going towards the "sunset" makes us a little bit lonely.

My dear Sandra, this has been a therapy session to your community. Your infectious optimism encourages; Your faith inspires; and your message of acceptance speaks to our hearts at any stage of our life. Today is a new day, possibly a new season for most of us, however, we should be courageously embracing life as it unfolds with faith in God and a determination to live each day to the fullest. You embody what aging gracefully truly looks like. For allowing your gifts and talents to be used in such a rewarding way, thank you. Never lose your hope, your joy and your bigger purpose in life. We really need the ray of sunshine you bring to our lives. Maya Angelou said be a rainbow in someone's sky. Thanks for being that rainbow for us today. God bless you Sandra. ❤️😇🌻

Welcome Karen and Happy Easter. I’m so touched that you found me here and are enjoying our conversations. Thanks so very much for sharing your thoughts and being here today.

I find that trusting God and accepting HIS will for my life is the key to this journey. The pain, the joy, even the mistakes (especially the mistakes), ALL must be accepted knowing that this spiritual journey is a temporary one. I just hope my soul has learned what it needed to learn here when I leave. That I have loved and accepted the other souls that shared this journey with me. For those that I have loved who have transitioned before me, I hope my being with them made their journey easier to cross over and go home! I am accepting it all!! Thank you God!

Thank you for your transparency and for sharing your life. I'm 53 and love your content. I pray to be blessed to reach a riper old age. Praying that you and Arthur will still be able to enjoy each other.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I am walking a similar journey with my husband & it’s very difficult at times. The word “Acceptance” was a light bulb for me. I definitely need to practice acceptance instead of anger. I so want to let go of my anger. Great conversation, Thanks again Sandra. Take care & stay well 😘

Thank you so very much for shearing so lovingly these very intimate thoughts. You remind me of that prayer. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..." I hope one day to reach that serenity that you have achieved. Blessings to you.

Sending you so much love during this time. I honestly think we are all going through “something “ right now. I am turning 62 in two weeks and still have to work full time. I thank God that he has given me the ability to do so. I think it helps to keep me vital and young. I am taking your advice and practicing gratitude daily.

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

Thank you for sharing your inner world and letting us walk with you on this journey Sandra. I absolutely adored your interviews with Arthur and I'm truly sorry about Arthur but am glad your embracing change with gratitude. My aging grandmother who passed almost 20 years ago was also fragile and different her last few years ....her mind and memories were lost and relationships meant nothing as she disintegrated into only noticing her immediate surroundings and showed frustrations easily like a child. We loved and cared for her until her last days and she passed peacefully in her sleep. As we age, I see that the mind resolute not to maintaining what was, but what is just reachable, safe, and comforting and that may be just a toy, water, food or a pillow. our bodies may be telling us it is time to go and the fear in our mind cannot cope so it reacts in unrational ways at the end of our lives. Do not worry as sure it's not personal and in many ways, Arthur loved and pursued, cared for you for 40 years and he did his best....💕💕💕 Sending you and Arthur love and prayers 🙏 ❤️

I enjoyed your honesty and transparency about your and Arthur’s life. Your videos are encouraging to me. I’m 68 and have been divorced 9 years now. I am currently content with an active lifestyle and not seeking dating or getting married but if it happens I’ll happily accept it. Being Grateful brings emotional freedom. I’m going to pray for you both as this new chapter begins. Stay strong as you continue your self care. You’re so beautiful. I did you not many months ago so everyday I watch several of your videos in hopes of seeing all of them. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love from Arkansas.

Thank you so much Sandra, for sharing this. It is unclear what is so different about Arthur, but I can share that one year ago my husband of 34 years had a massive stroke and miraculously was able to return to a functioning level the doctors find astonishing. But he is so different than he was, and it is a very strange journey indeed. His emotions are unstable, his communication is unpredictably reactive and I feel utterly alone. We have just sold our home and are moving when we are able to find a home…but the real estate market is so strange right now. I am both stunned and dismayed at the casual disregard his three children seem to feel for engaging with this new chapter…and it is simply scary. You are helping so many through your “ministry”. Thank you. Jane

Each day the journey changes the paths of life’s good or bad. I try to make the best I can and struggle on hoping for what lies ahead of my journey. Thank you and you are a beautiful angel and beautiful soul.

As one of your viewers, who has enjoyed so many of your messages, it was noticeable how Arthur was changing, slowly and gradually, in the interviews. It's good that the decline was slow, because it gave you the time to accept it. We love you, and of course, we'll all miss the younger, witty, goofy, unfiltered Arthur. We respect his privacy and know that it's yours and his time now, to be kept out of the limelight. The best of luck in all the days to come.

Sandra, I just started watching you a few weeks ago, I watched your birthday interview with Arthur and I enjoyed it and it was nice getting to know him. I am sorry things have gotten to this stage with Arthur. It is amazing how your vlogs have become so vital for me and I am sure it helps you to release your feelings. I want you to know hearing what you have to say has helped me very much. I understand exactly what you are experiencing since I have a husband who has some serious health problems and I am the one making the decisions and dealing with many issues. The acceptance has been my downfall and as always, your sweet words really help me and it is seeing that other women are dealing with these things helps me. thanks again for being you

just love all of your conversations !! You are so well spoken, speak so gently, an so wise !!! I hope this part of your life's journey goes smoothly for you and Arthur. My journey is on this same path right now. I am 64, my husband is turning 80 in May. You are so right, when you are younger, you don't really feel the age difference. But at this point, you do. I pray often for strength to cope with the rapid changes I see in him. We have been together since I was 22, and he was 38. We still love each other dearly, but my patience is wearing thin. I hope I can be as beautiful as you in your composure. God Bless !!! Sending love and hugs to both you and Arthur.

Sending you back the love which you send out. My relationship has changed, perhaps not for the better, and I see my parents in their 90’s and the changes there too. I too greet each day gratitude and look forward to the daily calls I have with my parents. Everything changes according to Buddha, it’s how we react to these changes. Much love to you, you are not alone and hugs to Arthur x

Good morning Sandra! Oh, what a blessing you are to all of us! I’ve said many times how much I appreciate your wisdom. I express to my husband that, even though we are married and live together happily, we are two separate people and our paths are yet different. So, acceptance of one another is important whether it’s exactly easy or not. I’m glad to hear Arthur is returning home soon. Please know that I keep you and Arthur in my prayers.

Hi Sandra, my heart goes out to you💟! Changes in cognitive abilities are difficult to deal with, even with mild dementia a personality can change dramatically and that person can become very obstinate... caregiving can become a nightmare sometimes. My father was an only child & his mom (my grandmother) was living with him, he was her caregiver... then my father unexpectedly passed away, My husband & I were in our early 40's at that time & we had to take in my 87 year old grandmother into our home. -when my grandmother was younger she was the sweetest lady ever 💕! but she got dementia & changed, she had become frustrated, obstinate & demanding... I am a very patient person & did my very best to take great care of my grandmother until her death. Looking back, she's been gone for 25 years... I'm proud & happy that I took great care of my grandmother during her time of need, & now I only remember her during her good years when she was a sweet & kind lady💝. Blessings to you Sandra💟.

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

Eloquently stated❤ My father also as he aged was not the man my mother married. He was diagnosed with Alzheimers and my mother became his care taker..basically. He was independent in daily activities but continously was a flight risk. Often slipping out of the house to leave on his own, but confused at where he was. This process aged my mom. She sort of lost herself in his constant care. I tried to help her, but he wanted only her. It is extremely difficult to see a person of power and independence through their life to become suspicious and question everything around them. Prayers to you & Arthur in this new transition of life.

Life is better when shared. I remember hearing that poem, 'The Road Not Taken' when I was about 8 or 10 yrs old. Glad Arthur is coming home. I understand the aging process, kinda messes with the mind. I was going to remarry last year but...learned his mind was under change. Decided it was more than what I was up to since I am 4 years his senior. I can love him but, that isn't enough. So, I will love him as a friend & be there when needed because he doesn't really know what he wants.

Sandra, I am 29 years old and currently going through a divorce - our hearing is set for May 11th and I have been dying inside. I was crying just now while listening to your talk about acceptance and new chapters. What a timely message this was for me! It was just what I needed to hear today. Change is scary, but acceptance allows us to cope and to grow gracefully as we navigate the various chapters of our lives. I am slowly beginning to accept that this chapter must close before a new chapter can begin. Thanks for blessing my soul once again with your words of wisdom, sweet lady. You are such an asset to our society and an inspiration to so many - what a gem! You are a queen and more. Blessings to you and yours. 💛

Hi Sandra , this is your friend from Brazil Every evening I try to listen to you on KZread and everytime I have the impression of being talking to a real and close friend in a living room . You are such a wise and sensitive woman.

Hi Sandra I really enjoy your videos. I can understand your message of accepting what is although not always easy. I always thought in my young 30s mind i would be able to plan my life on my terms. I was so very wrong. At age 32 i gave birth to a baby girl with Down Syndrome. My entire world was turned upside down. I was thrown into a new journey. Accepting all of this was hard but i had to learn to find the beauty in it or i would have crumbled. Lots of medical problems, surgeries and developmental issues over the years but it has taught me a lot about how strong i really am and a lot about acceptance. She is now 21 and i am 54 and its changing. I am getting older and the energy and patience is not always there. I pray for the strength to carry on. I worry about the future. Its a life sacrifice in so many ways. Only those who walk the journey will understand. Peace to you as Arthur returns. Recently went through all this with my mom and dad. Dad passed away and mom is lonely even though she complained of taking care of him. Life....never easy but its how you approach it that matters.
