More than thirty-five years ago, a longitudinal study was
established to research the health and well-being of older people
living in an English city. Self and Meaning in the Lives of Older
People provides a unique set of portraits of forty members of this
group who were interviewed in depth from their later seventies
onwards. Focusing on sense of self-esteem and, especially, of
continued meaning in life following the loss of a spouse and onset
of frailty, this book sensitively illustrates these persons'
efforts to maintain independence, to continue to have a sense of
belonging and to contribute to the lives of others. It examines
both the psychological and the social resources needed to flourish
in later life and draws attention to this generation's ability to
benefit from strong family support and from belonging to a faith
community. In conclusion, it questions whether future generations
will be as resilient.
