No apology needed. Been there. Totally understand buddy. I’m glad you appreciate the encouragement.

I’d like you dig deeper about what not giving up looks/means for you. Those listed above are good. However, think more generally. Think your character, your convictions, etc. In your view, what are the necessary traits to see something through? Don’t even worry about tying it to this situation. You’re about to retire. You’ve probably had some gruelling projects or work you’ve had to persevere which likely will provide some inspiration I would think.
Ordinarily I'm good at seeing the endgame. I can usually put my head down and get to work, regardless of the difficulty. I've always thought, naively at times, that hard work will eventually pay off. Most times that mindset pays off. I like to treat people how I want to be treated. I'm a pretty simple guy, possibly too simple.
