In the background of the text, a black and white photo of the author, Jody Day, blurred and indistinct, ghostly. The text reads: "The 3am bag lady blues: scaring yourself about ageing alone without children" Line break 'But who's going to be there for me when I'm old? is a thought that keeps many women without children awake at 3am. And in that 'hour of the wolf' as they call it in Russia... ' Line break https://jodyday.substack.com
In my latest essay, I explore the 'bag lady' fantasy that haunts the minds of so many women ageing without children, and perhaps even more so those also without partners. And I unpack my own surprising response to meeting my own inner bag lady.

As always lots of commentary about the social care crisis and how ppls families (ie children/grandchildren) will have no choice but to step in to cover the shortfall and as always not one mention of older ppl who don’t have family and the dire situation they will face #awoc
Ageing without children is an issue across the world! I’m helping my friend in Portugal raise money to support her neighbour who is #awoc and can’t afford to pay for help www.gofundme.com/f/help-ana-to-have-more-...
