I Didn’t Know What I’d Lose When I Came to a Nursing Home

I’m 89 years old, and this is not a story about anger or blame. It’s about something no one explained to me before I came here. This is a first-person reflection on aging, care, and what slowly disappears when safety replaces familiarity. It’s about the parts of life that don’t show up on checklists—routine, memory, small freedoms, and the feeling of belonging to your own days. Some people are helped by nursing homes. Some truly need them. But not every loss is visible, and not every trade-off is spoken aloud. This is not advice. It’s a lived truth, told quietly, by someone running out of time. If this story resonates with you, you’re not alone in that feeling.
