The Pause Newsletter
Two years ago, we embarked on a mission: to create a weekly newsletter that would resonate with women like us—midlife women who are intelligent, engaged, curious, and full of life. Our aim was to make thePause newsletter feel like a conversation with friends—sometimes serious, sometimes cheeky, but always authentic. As with any ambitious dream, it took time for the details to come together. However, motivated by the events of 2020, we decided it was time to take action and launched our very first issue. Just weeks later, Sheryl shared her experience with COVID-19, which led to her being featured in an article in the New York Times. Since that launch, our newsletter has reached readers across the globe, attracting new subscribers and feedback each day. This connection brings us joy and makes us feel heard, especially as seasoned journalists who are often used to writing in solitude. Knowing that our words resonate with others inspires us to keep sharing our thoughts. We explore a wide range of subjects, including menopause, weight issues, hearing difficulties, and self-esteem, to name just a few. We discuss what’s on our minds, which we believe reflects what many of you are thinking as well.

Got achy, tender, stiff joints? If you have arthritis, you’re hardly alone. It’s estimated that 58.5 million US adults over the age of 18 - that’s one in four - have arthritis. (A new study thinks this number is too low!) And that number is estimated to climb to about 78 million by the year 2040. Many might equate arthritis with being old, but that’s not necessarily true: Approximately 75 percent of adults with arthritis are younger than 65.

I think you're right about the stigma, but another thing you mentioned ... the gradual nature of the loss ... also contributes to the denial. My grandma was in the denial stage forever, calling me a mumbler. She never did get a hearing aid. Too vain. My MIL is convinced that we talk low in order to leave her out of conversations. She got a hearing aid, but refuses to use it.

You’re in a crowded restaurant. The food and company are great. But…the background noise is deafening, making it hard for your brain to focus in on what others at your table are saying. Too embarrassed to keep asking, “WHAT??” you just smile and nod a lot, or come up with what you think might be the appropriate answer - not fully sure that you are replying to the right thing. (And that could lead to inappropriate responses!) OR…👂You’re relying on the closed-captions feature while watching TV.

Greetings!My normal Tuesday newsletter delivery schedule is off this week. That’s because my computer is currently being serviced. So, I pulled out my old laptop, (aka old faithful), which is woefully underpowered and overused, slow, and at times, practically unresponsive. Yet, since my topic for today’s newsletter is all about aging and working with what you have to make it the best it can be, I persevered, and found ways to work around the pesky behavior of my very tired and well-worn machine.
