"Grumpy old..." syndrome is a real thing. Like everything else that gets depleted as we age, serotonin (the feel good hormone) gets depleted too. Combined with chronic pain, lack of sleep, loss of spouse, it can get harder and harder to maintain a level, happy head space. It's easy to judge angry older people, but I like to imagine why they are that way. I'm sure it's hard living for them. I'll try my best not to cause unnecessary grump fest!
