The Gift of Aging Navigating the Challenges of Growing Old

We are aging. We are getting old. Unlike vintage wine, exotic cheese, or even carefully wrapped fruitcake, we don't seem to improve with age. Challenges abound. In the Autumn of Life, help is needed to navigate these challenges. The Gift of Aging provides that help by showing how to transform the challenges of aging into a gift. In nine chapters, the book selectively explores the challenges experienced by most older adults: accepting the fact we are old, our memories, suffering, change, limitations, our need for wisdom, relationships, loss and letting go in the Autumn of Life, and summing up with The Gift of Aging. The book also fills in the spiritual gap so often missing in many senior-related books. It offers an invitation to join an exciting life-changing journey for seniors as they face the daily issues of growing old and the uncertainties of end-of-life challenges.
