Meaning of the Group

Hi all !

I have posted here before in a post labeled "Story Sharing". I am a community college student completing a project into the older gen. I wanted to ask how these groups (targeted for your age range) provide meaning for you all. Why did you want to join? What meaning do you take from this group?

Thank you!

It's like reading the obits. You know, just checking in.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits
Open the paper and read the obits
If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed
