Aging, And With It The Sobering Loss Of Good Friends
Marie Thrailkill and John Williams at Laurel High School's 50-year class reunion, 2023, Laurel, Maryland. Jim Clash I recently posted something on Facebook to the effect that, as we age, the number of friends we have seems to dwindle noticeably, and for a number of reasons. The online response was overwhelming, surprisingly, with many of my baby-boom generation weighing in. First off, while I think social media is one of the reasons for this - texting, e-mailing and the like instead of talking on the phone or meeting up in person - I will say that Facebook generally is a positive. I have come across many friends and teammates from grade school, high school and college there, as well as folks from various jobs I've held over the years. It's interesting to see the paths in life they have chosen, or, in some cases, have chosen them. Part of what precipitated my post was the death this year of some of my high school classmates. One, in particular, was a friend I had gone through eight years of grade school with, then four years of high school (we had worked together on a prize-winning laser science project). I hadn't seen him since our 50-year recent class reunion. I did hear that he had cancer then, but to me he looked okay. In fact, 55 of my high school graduating class were not present at that reunion due to deaths. Another contributing factor to lost friendships is the deep divide politically in this country, as wide a gap as I've seen in my lifetime. The current situation has destroyed relationships in families, and with co-workers and friends. The COVID-19 pandemic didn't help, either, with its years of lockdown and isolation. Something I'm particularly sensitive to - and maybe it's just me - is the sudden disappearance (they call it "ghosting") of old friends. Here today, gone tomorrow. The acquaintances I don't mind so much, it's the close friends I don't understand. Perhaps it's that they are busy with their kids or grandkids, or are traveling in retirement, but with some I have the unsettled feeling that they can't get anything more from me. It's as if, in my later years, I have nothing more to give (I'm a journalist and I'm not rich), or perhaps they sense that I might need something from them, God forbid. Or perhaps I'm just paranoid. In any case, I guess this is all a sobering part of getting older, but I don't have to like it. I'm sure I'm guilty of some of this impersonality, too. And, much as I detest birthdays these days, I've come to welcome them. I mean, what's the alternative?
