This book explores the multifaceted experience of suffering in old
age. Older adults suffer from a variety of causes such as illness,
loss, and life disappointment, to name a few. Suffering also occurs
due to experiences related to one's gender, ethnic background, and
religion. Although gerontological literature has equated suffering
with depression, grief, pain and sadness, elders themselves
distinguished suffering from these concepts and at the same time
showed how they are linked. Narratives of suffering from
community-dwelling elders are interpreted in this book, along with
the personal meaning of suffering that lies within each narrative.
