WHAT’S A FRIEND? FOR SENIORS, TRUE FRIENDSHIPS ARE FRUITFUL BY SUSAN SHULTZ

or young children, a friend is a playmate. For teens, a friend is a confidante and a source of laughter. As adults, we rely on friends for social outlets from our day-to-day stresses. And as we age, our friends may be fewer and far between. Life sends us in different directions. Our friends pass away or move to be closer to children and grandchildren. And in some cases, for the lucky ones, we have lifetime friends who keep us grounded and share a wealth of memories. And surprisingly, strong friendships can have a positive impact on our health. Long time friendships tend to be the most valuable and outlast more superficial connections. For Jane, suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease at age 80, her definition of a friend is evident, as her two closest childhood friends take turns sitting by her bedside, coaxing her to eat, and sharing funny memories of her as a teenager with her children. AgeWellCT recently reported on a study from the University of Michigan about friendships in older adults translated to better functioning, where a lack of steady friendships may have contributed to chronic illnesses. Aetna also reports on the benefit of friendships for older adults – saying those ties might actually lead to a longer life span. Friendships can also fill voids in a different way than family can. Though familial ties are powerful, in some cases the family becomes more of a caregiver role. SEE FRIENDSHIPS ON PAGE 10

The Benefits of Having Friends Heart Disease

AgeWellCT reports studies have shown that those who deal with loneliness are more likely to develop heart disease and/or have a stroke than those who socialize actively.

Cognitive Benefits

Those who experience loneliness are also more likely to develop cognitive decline or dementia.

Chronic Illnesses

Loneliness can also make those who suffer from it more susceptible to lung disease, depression and arthritis.

Lifespan

Lonely older adults can also have a much higher rate of death and physical and .mental decline.

Emotional Well-being

The study showed that friendships were a direct correlation to how happy and healthy one feels, according to the AARP.

FAMILY STORIES ARE OFTEN THE MOST IMPORTANT HEIRLOOMS TO PASS ON

FEBR UA RY 2 024

Hearst Connecticut Media Group

today’s day and age, it is easier than ever to keep a record of family memories and moments that are significant to today’s generation on onward. But our older generation does not have the benefit of their lives living on in the digital age. The time to preserve their stories, recipes, and memories is now. There are simple ways to preserve our legacies and technological advancements that offer our children, grandchildren and beyond ways to revisit their roots and family history.

PHOTO & VIDEO MEMORIES As our ﬁlm technology continues to evolve, there are outdated memories preserved on the video cassette recorder, now a dinosaur in itself. That’s not to speak of spools of old-time ﬁlm that used to be viewed on a projector. There are many brick-and-mortar resources and mail away services that will convert your memories into thumb drives to share and enjoy. iMemories offers a safe ship box for you to place all of your film, photos and more and then ship to their location. You have several options for enjoying these memories once they are processed. You

can get digital uploads, as well as a thumb drive. The iMemories app will also include copies of your family memories that you can watch on your smart tv, phone or more — as well as share with loved ones. Processing fees are currently about $15 a tape and membership costs about $8 a month. Visit iMemories.com for more info. Legacy Box offers packages starting at a two-item conversion for $36. It offers the ability for you to watch your memories via thumb drive, digital download or a watchable DVD set. Legacy Box will also convert your old audio tapes for you to preserve the voices of those we love forever. Visit LegacyBox.com for more. If you would rather try it yourself, places like Best Buy and Amazon offer machines for you to convert your 8mm and VCR tapes using your own home equipment. If you are nervous to send your memories out, most local film and camera shops offer the service for a variable fee. SEE STORIES ON PAGE 11

WINTER DOLDRUMS? COMBAT EARLY SUNSETS & PUT THE HOLIDAYS BEHIND YOU

BY SUSAN SHULTZ

nce the magic of the holiday season has been left behind, facing the long cold of winter beginning in January seems deflating. Especially in the northeast, winter can mean snowstorms and maybe even power outages, as well as early sunsets. Add in the stress of the holidays, and the season can be a tough one for

many. Some of us can shake off the winter blues ourselves, but for those who have an undiagnosed mental health issue, we might need more help. The clinical term for those who are seriously impacted by the seasons to the point of depression is “seasonal affective disorder.” SEE WINTER ON PAGE 8

BY SUSAN SHULTZ

he holidays can be both a fulfilling and challenging time of year for many and can cause us to reflect. While there are bustling family tables and joyous get togethers, not everyone’s holiday season matches what the heartfelt commercials tend to imply. Now that the year is new, it is the perfect time to commit to give back. Connecticut offers many opportunities to give our time, love, and donations to add a little sparkle to someone else in need.

Soup Kitchens Connecticut’s 211 has sorted out soup kitchens

Gift of Food

Gift of Warmth

Whether you are a cook yourself or if the thought of making sure someone is well fed this time of year is important to you, there are many opportunities to help.

LasagnaLove Founded during the pandemic, LasagnaLove

has popped up all over the country and has a very active community in CT. Participants can request a lasagna, no questions asked. Some may be injured or ill, some may be food insecure, or some may just want a night off from cooking and indulge in a delicious, home-cooked meal. Volunteers sign up and list the distance they are willing to drive. Recipients are divided up by allergies and dietary restrictions, and recipes are also offered. If you don’t have time to cook, you can sponsor chefs. Visit lasagnalove.org for more information.

seeking volunteers by town and county. The searchable database is available at 211ct.org, and offers hours and addresses for both those in need and volunteers.

Food Pantries From large organizations like Connecticut Foodshare to your local town government’s food pantry, there are numerous locations to donate non-perishable food items. Places like Person-to-Person in Darien and Norwalk are always searching for donations. Many grocery stores also have bins at the entrance and exit for donations this time of year. Meals on Wheels Meals on Wheels is one of the oldest fooddonation organizations in the country. You can volunteer locally to deliver meals to a fellow senior who may be food insecure.

One of the most important ways to help others during the colder season is to remember that many go without warm outerwear, including hats, gloves, and coats. To make a monetary donation, Operation Warmth offers a nationwide project to get warm clothing to those in need. Visit operationwarm.org for more information.

Button Up Connecticut is also conducting a coat drive at

Brown Harris Stevens locations in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, and Westport. New and gently used coats are sought for redistribution. Visit buttonupconnecticut.org for more details. National organization One Warm Coat also offers drop-off locations in Connecticut. If you opt to drop off your coat donations at one of the participating J Crew locations in CT, you can get a discount on your own coat purchase. A full list of drop-off locations is available at onewarmcoat.org. A quick internet search will also turn up local coat drives near you, including many churches. You can even opt to hold a coat drive yourself.

Social Services

Visiting your local town’s social services department often provides opportunities to help your neighbors in need. These departments maintain a list of those who are food or housing insecure or who have children in need. Often gift cards or more can be donated. 

Giving back is often more fulfilling than receiving, and what better way to end the year than with the gift of yourself, for yourself.

NEW YEAR’S

RESOLUTIONS FOR A HAPPY & HEALTHY START BY SUSAN SHULTZ

hile New Year’s resolutions are famously made in good faith but often broken (see full gyms in January rapidly trickle back to regular attendance in February), sometimes making them alone can help. In order to make resolutions, we tend to have to take stock of our current state of being and how we’d like to see it improve. That alone is a good mental health strategy. Even better is to decide what we’d want our life to look like after these changes, and then establish life changes, or resolutions, to get ourselves there. These don’t have to be serious problems. It could be as easy as switching to decaf coffee before bed. But these changes, whether big or small, might make our lives a little easier, healthier, happier, and brighter. What’s not to love? AdobeStock

Ideas to Consider When Plotting a List of Resolutions Take it Easy on Yourself This one is not only a

Take Care of Medical Appointments

good idea when you’re deciding on resolutions, but one to be a resolution all on its own. Look at your list of resolutions as a draft that will continue to be defined and refined throughout the year. It’s great to add ones you know will be hard (an exercise regimen for some, quitting smoking for others) knowing it will be a challenge. But also adding resolutions that are easy for you to do (buying paper towels at Costco to save money) can help you feel good about your accomplishments. Regardless, the world is hard enough on us all — give yourself a break.

All of us regardless of age should have a primary doctor who hopefully reminds us when it’s time for a check-up. But that’s not enough. Firstly, make your general annual physical appointment depending on your health needs. In addition, all of us over 50 should be arranging for a colonoscopy; women should be visiting their gynecologist and scheduling a mammogram. We should also have our eyes checked and make sure our prescription is up to date. Make the appointments and keep the appointments.

Quit or Reduce Harmful Habits For some it

don’t have as many people to socialize with all the time. That’s OK! You can go out for dinner on your own (see previous resolution), go to the movies alone, go for a walk on the beach alone, or even go on a road trip or overseas on your own. Nothing wrong with it.

somewhere, take a fun day, maybe with a family member, child, or grandchildren, and sort photos, noting who is in them, the year, and more. It will be a lovely activity to share memories with others and know who is preserved in these moments in time.

may be sweets, wine, and even smoking or other harmful habits. Most of us do too much of something that is bad for us. Realistically it is hard to quiet cold turkey, but making a resolution keeps it front of mind. Think about it before you do it next time and ask yourself if you should be. >>

ABOVE ALL, MAKE A RESOLUTION TO HAVE

A BETTER YEAR THAN THE LAST.

Hearst Connecticut Media Group

FEBR UA RY 2024

>> Make the Call There’s always someone, whether it be friend or family, you’ve been meaning to call and catch up with. There’s never going to be the perfect day or time to do it. Just do it when you think of it.

Treat Yourself You can’t take it with you. Obvi-

ously, all of us are in different financial situations — whether it be that specialty meal item you’ve been missing, the book you’ve been wanting to read, the pedicure you’ve been craving, that piece of jewelry or new golf club you’ve had your eye on? Treating ourselves means something different to everyone, but we should all be able to do it once in a while.

Invest in New Sheets, Towels & Toothbrushes This may sound silly, but a new,

firm toothbrush is one of the routines that starts our day. Using a new toothbrush makes us feel more invigorated and confident to start the day. Sheets are often overlooked but so important for a good night sleep. Everyone knows the sheets they prefer. Don’t just order the cheapest one at Amazon; hit up a Home Goods or TJ Maxx and test out more luxurious thread counts with discount prices. Sleeping is critical to health, and the same can be said for towels. It isn’t something that is on our mind all the time, but starting off the new year with new, fluffy towels is another way to start the day fresh or the night comfortable.

Focus on a Health Regimen It doesn’t have to

be the New York City Marathon, but walking or running have a series of health benefits. Walking outdoors keeps your heart pumping, gives you fresh air, and various statistics show that those everyday walks lead to longer, healthier lives — especially over age 50.

G O LDEN YEARS

Take a Day Off Finally, to tie this list up with the

ﬁrst item, it is OK to take a day off. As Billy Joel once said in his song “Vienna:” “Slow down, you crazy child, take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It’s all right, you can afford to lose a day or two.” Truer words have never spoken. Certainly this doesn’t mean that we should walk away from important commitments, particularly with regard to employment. However, mental health days are real and needed. If you feel overwhelmed with life, there’s nothing wrong with calling out on life — all of it. Read your favorite book, take a bubble bath, take a long walk or watch “Friday the 13th” parts one through inﬁnity. Do what makes you happy and gives you peace.

Try Meditation These days, you don’t have to be

part of some club or group to try meditation. Thanks to the digital age, there are many apps on your phone or tablet that offer a variety of meditations or afﬁrmations. This can be especially helpful just before bed and before leaving the house in the morning. It clears your mind and helps you relax before whatever you are facing.

Listen to Music You may have records you

haven’t pulled out of storage, or — if you’re tech-savvy — there are many online streaming services to create playlists according to your taste. When making dinner or reading a book, just having a pleasant soundtrack creates a relaxing vibe. 

WINTER FROM PAGE 3 WHAT IS SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER? For the most part, seasonal affective disorder affects those who experience it in the winter months. For a few, it impacts them in the spring and summer. The symptoms for seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, as described by the Mayo Clinic, include: ■

Feeling sad or down most of the day

■

Losing interest in activities you enjoy

■

Having low energy and feeling sluggish

■

Sleeping too much

■

Craving carbs, overeating, and gaining weight

Light Therapy One of the oldest

■

Having difﬁculty concentrating

■

Feeling hopeless, guilty, and worthless

The Mayo Clinic suggests seeing a doctor if you feel this way for days at a time, or if these feelings intensify.

treatments for SAD includes sitting in front of a light-emitting box for 30 minutes in the morning and sometimes again around sunset to reset your biological clock.

Treatment Options

Medications Anti-depressant

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) reports that those who feel they might be suffering from SAD should consult a doctor before opting to self-diagnose or treat. Some options for treatment include:

Social Therapy Therapists can listen

and encourage those dealing with SAD to try to get out and be social.

medication can help in some cases.

Vacation A non-medical option is changing your lifestyle, which can include taking a trip to a sunny locale during the winter months. Many seniors opt for the “snowbird” lifestyle, investing in homes in the south where they relocate for the winter, and return to New England during the summer.

WHAT CAUSES SAD?

AdobeStock

There can be a biological cause for these feelings of depression, which means medical intervention might help. Reduced levels of sunlight can impact your biological clock, your serotonin levels (which can lead to depression), and even your melatonin levels (which affect sleep patterns).

FIND YOURSELF ALONE DURING THE WINTER? SilverSneakers.com has a few suggestions: Assess Your Situation in Advance

If you think you will have long stretches alone, reach out to friends and family. Another option is to plan a trip for yourself during the winter to find some sun.

Celebrate Yourself

Order a nice meal for yourself or cook up some old favorites. Make a ﬁre in the ﬁreplace. Rent your favorite movie. Spoil yourself. Experts at SilverSneakers.com

AdobeStock

suggest if you do watch something, watch a comedy. Laughter is the best cure for feeling down.

Take a Break from Social Media This cannot be emphasized enough. Any teenager in the U.S. can tell us the pressure and impact on confidence or insecurity inflicted by holding up our lives in competition with our family and friends. Social media posts often present the most idyllic settings, which are often in stark contrast with reality. But

that doesn’t matter when one sees the perfect family, or the exciting trip, or the latest accomplishment. Give yourself a break from unnecessary stress. If you’re struggling with the blues during the winter season, most importantly remember that you are not alone. If you need help, the state of Connecticut has a 24-hour helpline. The Adult Crisis Telephone Intervention and Options Network is for adults in distress who are 18 years of age or older. It’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Call 1-800-HOPE135 (1-800-467-3135) or call 2-1-1. 

STORIES FROM PAGE 2 VERBAL STORIES

Preserve Your Family Recipes

We all have heard the funny stories about how Grandma and Grandpa met, but often we don’t get the full scope of either the hijinks they were up to in high school, the heroic every day acts our parents have done, and more, until it is too late to share with them. There are new companies that offer us or our loved ones the chance to think back and share their memories to preserve for future memories. Storyworth.com offers a prescription plan that offers the author one prompt a week that will probe them about their lifetime memories. Upon completing the process, the entire work is created into a hardcover book to be saved and shared. Using privatehistorian.net, your story goes beyond your personal memories. Your historian will interview family members as well and will also research news and other archives. For your family history, the historian will talk to all family members and research your origins. For your personal history, your own life is chronicled through personal and career paths. Both result in hardbound book to be preserved. Storykeeper.com puts control in the hands of the writer while offering professional editing help and more. And, again, the result is a hardbound book.

When it comes to family recipes, none are more visceral than tasting grandma’s special meat sauce, or Aunt Janie’s famous Irish soda bread. But following the random recipe out there for even the most well-known food item just won’t taste the same. Preserving your family’s recipes in a paper book is heartwarming, but paper is fragile, and can easily fall apart eventually. There are other ways to preserve. The familycookbookproject.com offers families software to create your own family cookbook, publish it and share it. One can either create a 50-recipe cookbook for free that you can download and selfprint or pay a cost for multiple contributors and a book printed for you. Other thoughtful ways to preserve recipes include creating a custom gift on websites like Etsy.com. Preserve your loved one’s lasagna recipe in a ceramic baking dish — make it even more special by using their own handwriting. Other options include a pie recipe on a pie dish, or even customizing aprons with recipes. Regardless of the many options above, one of the most important ways to preserve your family’s history and stories is to…

TALK TO YOUR LOVED ONES WHILE THEY ARE STILL HERE WITH YOU. The moments you create, while not digital, will be just as enduring and even more irreplaceable. 
