LOUISA'S zsx = LETTER

Dear Louisa, My wife died several years ago and I have continued to live in my home. I am in my seventies but I have a good cook who has been with my family for thirty years so as far as my food and housekeeping problems are concerned I am well taken care of. The only trouble is that I get very lonely. I have thought of renting out a room to a young man or fixing up part of the house into a small apartment. My daughters suggested selling the house and going to a nursing home but I don’t know whether I would like that or not. I am healthy and enjoy golf and drive a car. What would you advise me to do? T.D.-Va. Serving our country

Answer: There are nursing homes for the aged which are good and others not so good But for an able bodied man, who is financially well off and who has enjoyed the privacy of a home of his own, it would be a big step to sell your home and burn your bridges behind you. •• In institutional homes there have to be rules and some of these are hard to accept by people who are accustomed to do as they please. These homes are fine for those who are alone in the world and who cannot care for themselves but I think that such a move on your part would be a mistake. My advice to you would be to convert part of your house into a small apartment and rent it to someone whom you would find congenial. Choose your tenant and lower the rent if necessary to have someone you 1 like. There is a lot to be said for privacy in the present age and as one woman said to me not long ago, “There are lots of things worse than being lonely.” Louisa. Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg.
