I liked your local saying, and it reminded me of a line from a Brazilian song that goes: "Flesh lasts less than any wood." I could see that you have a very stressful life, and I advise you to do what I've been trying: think of a plan where you can have a job that pays you more for less effort and stress. Usually, that is possible when we work with what we love.
I really appreciate your suggestion, I think that's what I would do. Though I have started making moves for easier and well paid jobs..
I appreciate your beautiful contribution 🙏❤️
