内容简介：
In youth, age is a mystery. In mid-life, age is a fear. Near the end, age is all about life's experiences. Most of us, however, do not spend a lot of time thinking about what happens when people become old. Life is about experiences .... Share in the memories of a long-passed spouse, the husband that never was, the children, and the family times. Feel the emotional struggle of letting go of past abuse or baggage. Experience the difficulties associated with giving up one's independence and pride. Hear the wisdom in their words while they convey the reality of life as you listen to the heartfelt stories of The Old People. Enjoy the satisfaction experienced as the maintenance man, the housekeeper, and the laundry worker lend a hand. Be comforted in the stories of long, generous life related by those who have fully experienced it. There are dreams that were realized, loves that were lost, and memories that are vivid. This book is about those thoughts, struggles, and memories. In a comprehensive view from each individual's own perspective, the perspective of their family members, their caregivers and their advisors, these tales remove some of the mystery and fear. These tales will make you cry-they will make you smile. In some cases, your fear may be elevated. In all cases, your awareness will be enhanced.
