As people live longer and better lives, both women and men may look
forward to many years in retirement. But living well in retirement
depends on a variety of decisions people make as they prepare for
and enter this new chapter of life and living. This book is for and
about women approaching and experiencing life in their senior
years. This largest and fastest-growing part of the population is
living in a manner very different from our mothers, whose roles in
life were much more predictable and circumscribed than ours.
Today's senior women live longer, are healthier, better educated,
more involved in the world, and more active than the women who
preceded us. Figuring out these uncharted years without role models
or guideposts can be challenging, but, here, the authors gather the
stories of today's senior women, who have jumped hurdles, answered
questions, and made decisions they never saw their mothers make.
Through these stories, readers will find fellowship and guidance,
wisdom and acknowledgment of the challenges (and triumphs) that lie
ahead. Culled from women in their sixties and beyond, and from a
variety of backgrounds and current living situations, the stories
reveal the realities of life for retirement-age women, and
demonstrate the dreams, joys, concerns, and fears that come along
with this phase of life. They address questions about living
arrangements, adult children, loss of a spouse or partner,
relationships and friendships, part time work, social connections,
health concerns, and more. Facing these new situations with class,
dignity, sass, and smarts, these women reveal the various ways
today's senior women can live and love her retirement years.
