Synopsis

Bestseller in Motivational Growth & Spirituality

Aging well, aging with grace has become a worthy goal for more than 50 million Americans who have passed the age of 65. Frances Fuller was nearly 90 and suddenly alone when she realized that getting old was new territory and one might wish for guidance. Turning to books for help, she found academic materials but nothing by people who were really old. So she began to write from her own day by day experience, first calling her work, “Things I Said to Myself When I Was Almost 90.”
The result is Helping Yourself Grow Old, thirty-eight personal essays, most of them resolves, promises she is making to herself and her family. In them she deals with such issues as grief, loneliness, physical limitations, fears, duties, and with the significance of her own life story. Guided always by her Christian faith, she tries to make sense of her own past and to understand her responsibility to younger generations. In the process she shares her daily life, enriched with memories from fascinating experiences. Her stories and her voice---fresh, honest, witty---keep the reader eager for more. Her questions are universal. Her answers create a map through the challenging terrain of old age.
