Old friendships thin out with time, through moves, health changes, and the quiet losses that come later in life, and making new ones can feel harder than it ever did before. This is a clear-eyed look at why that happens and what to do about it: where new connections actually form after retirement, how to move an acquaintance toward real friendship, and how to keep bonds steady when energy and mobility change. Grounded, encouraging, and honest about the work friendship takes at any age.
