About the Book
Aging has become a major National issue as men and women are growing older with each passing generation. Modern medicine and healthy habits of eating and exercise have increased our longevity. As people grow older they need to learn how to live a fuller and more productive life. People need to feel useful and have purpose as they maintain their health and live longer lives after retirement. Because parents are living longer, children need to understand how to assist their parents in dealing with the physical limitations of aging and weakening and failing body parts. Too many young people get lost in their own world and fail to spend time and make meaningful contact with their aging parents and grandparents. Lack of communication and understanding create stressful situations within family groups, often alienating family members. This book is an attempt to present to both sides of the issue of aging, responsible solutions and suggestions in dealing with this issue without creating more problems. This book is an attempt to inform and help those dealing with Seniors and those who are becoming seniors, on what to expect as we grow older. To try to understand rather than ignore the problems we face as we or our loved ones begin to experience the aging process. Let’s all try to make it a time of embracing our positive side and developing empathy for those times when weakness appears. In the animal kingdom the weak and the aged are shunned or killed. As human beings and Christians, we need to be understanding, supportive and giving honor to those who have blazed the trail before us. Let us all try to make aging a time to embrace and learn how to cope with life in a positive rather than a negative fashion.
