Persons of all ages struggle to survive losses and rewrite their
life stories. Self-help books abound, yet seldom do we stop to
consider living resources, the wise old persons who are among us.
Gerontologists Janet L. Ramsey and Rosemary Blieszner have recorded
narratives of spiritually resilient German and American women and
offer here a rare combination of listening, personal story telling,
and professional reflection. Avoiding simplistic answers and
acknowledging the ambiguity of human experience, the authors give
voice to a remarkably unheard group: strong old women. In this
unique book you will find unforgettable stories of courage and
faith but also provocative suggestions on how to enrich your
clinical and academic work through an increased emphasis on
spiritual coping. The authors also emphasize the importance of
acknowledging emotions in spiritual experiences, and integrating
faith and close human relationships.
