thank you so very much for reading and sharing your thoughts. you know, when we talked about this with my class, loss of collagen or face was one of the first things that people listed. here were some that came up (I alliterated them with F for personal reasons!)

Personal Identity & Relationships

Fame – Loss of recognition or status

Friends – Loss of relationships or social connections

Family – Loss of loved ones or familial bonds

Favor – Loss of goodwill or approval from others

Faith – Loss of belief or spiritual grounding

Health & Physical Well-being

Fecundity – Loss of fertility or creative potential

Fitness – Loss of physical health or strength

Face – Loss of beauty, youth, or self-image

Fortitude – Loss of resilience or inner strength

Flexibility – Loss of adaptability or ability to adjust to changes

and lost of us who are facing aging certainly face that. it helped me to think about how to modulate that loss into some freedoms that change might actually afford me.
