America is quickly going grey. There are more Americans alive today
over the age of 80 than ever before in our history; by 2030, that
number is expected to almost triple. But when we discuss how long
people live, we must also consider how well they live. Aging Our
Way follows the everyday lives of 30 elders (ages 85-102) living at
home and mostly alone to understand how they create and maintain
meaningful lives for themselves. Through extensive interviews,
Meika Loe explores how elders navigate the practical challenges of
living as independently as possible while staying healthy,
connected, and comfortable. Aging Our Way celebrates these men and
women as they really are: lively, complicated, engaging people
finding creative ways to make their aging as meaningful and
manageable as possible. Written with remarkable warmth and depth of
understanding, Aging Our Way offers a vivid look at a group of
people who too often remain invisible-those who have lived the
longest - and all they have to teach us.
