What I meant is a retiree crisis. You have been working for 40/50 odd years, and all of a sudden you loose the one thing that gave structure to your life.

Right, like my father who only now has been forced to retire at 70 after a covid induced blood clot behind his eye took his vision. He only had the one good eye after an accident in his teens blinded the other, and he doesn’t complain about the near total blindness, he complains about the boredom from lack of stuff to do.
