Why I Cannot Open a Jar of Pickles... An Enable Story

Why I Cannot Open a Jar of Pickles... An Enable Story

Here I am, at home on a quiet Saturday morning. My husband is out golfing, and my kids are grown and off living their own lives. Today, I’m craving a tuna fish sandwich for lunch. I’ve got all the ingredients ready: a great can of tuna, some delicious mayonnaise, boiled eggs, and a brand-new loaf of sourdough bread. Yum.

I head to the larder to grab a jar of pickles to add that extra zing to my sandwich. But as I twist the lid, I realize something: it’s not as easy as it used to be. My grip just isn’t strong enough. I used to take pride in my ability to open jars and tear into stubborn packaging. But now, my hands hurt sometimes—especially in the mornings—and my grip feels weaker than it did a few years ago. Maybe it’s arthritis, like my grandmother had. Or maybe it’s just the reality of getting older.

I try running the jar under hot water, then cold water. I bang it lightly on the counter, hoping to loosen the lid. Nothing works. Frustrated, I think about asking a neighbor for help, but the thought of admitting I can’t open a jar of pickles feels oddly embarrassing. Defeated, I put everything back in the fridge and decide to go out for lunch instead.

Moments like these remind me that small, everyday challenges can creep up on us. Grip strength naturally declines with age, and it’s an indicator of overall health. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find solutions to make life easier and more empowering.
