I remember Aunt Rose always saying “Aging isn't for sissies”. Now that I’ve reached “old age”, I’m very aware of how right she was. Our bodies stop cooperating. Our appearance changes. And grief and loss hover dangerously near us . Old age is an opportunity – and maybe our last opportunity - to find contentment, peace and ease, in spite of intense emotional and physical states that old age brings. It’s a chance to really get to know ourselves more intimately and to accept what is. I work with older adults who are interested in exploring the complexities of aging while making meaning out of life and practicing acceptance.
