Item description from seller

Paperback. Out of the countless experiences in a lifetime, why are certain narratives chosen, repeated, and preserved by aging individuals?The Ten Stories suggests that most elderly people return to a core set of approximately ten stories as they reflect on their lives. The significance of those narratives lies not in their factual details, but in the values and meanings they convey. Most stories told are set during late adolescence and early adulthood often eight or nine out of ten originate during this period. The stories are also audience-specific, as they are shaped by the relationship between teller and listener. The book explores how stories told by mothers are different than those told by fathers; how stories told to sons differ from those told to daughters; and how the stories of immigrant parents differ from non-immigrants.Social scientist and health policy researcher Mary Ann McColl provides insight into what older adults may be expressing through repeated stories. She shares twenty recurring themes emerging from the stories such as overcoming obstacles, showing kindness, regrets and resentments, and standing up for whats right that represent an opportunity for connection and understanding, rather than a source of frustration. This book offers practical strategies for listening more effectively and appreciating those narratives as intentional, meaningful acts of communication. Have you ever wondered why aging parents tell the same stories over and over again? Based on research with caregivers who shared the stories their elderly parents told, this book explores the meaning behind those repeated narratives and offers tools for listening and understanding with care. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
