My Dad retired, my mom died very soon after that, he got a P/T job at a store at the mall, much below what he used to do, but loved it! Getting "coffee and" at break, taking the kids and grandkids shopping with his employee discount, belonging but no responsibilities, PT, no worries, a little extra cash, etc. My sister lived with him awhile after her divorce, he would make the cleaning lady she hired sit down and make and serve her lunch. That man needed a job!!
