Yes it is an end to your working life all to the life you've lived through many years, but it is also a new beginning and a chance to make all sorts of changes that you dreamt about for years.
So instead of feeling downhearted when you think about leaving the world of your long-term work, change your mindset so that you feel motivated to make a new start in the way you live your life.
Of course now you are older and wiser you may realise that you have some restrictions on what you can and can't do. However a lot of these out in your head rather than in your body.

Keep up to date by reading the newspaper regularly and surf the Internet to keep on learning new information. Socialise with people of all age groups so that you remain up-to-date and what's going on in the world. Enjoy your family relationships and if you have some, spent time with your grandchildren because they will teach you about the world today and you can tell them all about what it was like for you growing up. Tell them about what life was like you when you were a child and how things have changed. Then let them show you how to use new gadgets and try to understand the world from their point of view.
Make the changes that you really want when you retire and you will be motivated to really enjoy your life.
