Description

This book is a compilation of short stories and articles where Barbara J. Kirby the author writes candidly about life through the eyes of a senior, through the eyes of a caregiver and as a professional providing guidance and advocacy. There are nuggets of information throughout that will give you pause to think about what others have experienced and how you might handle your own situations. Knowing what to expect helps you to better understand the questions you need to ask to navigate through tough decisions. Making well informed decisions about housing, lifestyle and care will not only smooth your journey but also show that you respect the time and efforts of those who will be your advocates one day. And yes we all need advocates! The book is divided into three sections: the first section touches on the importance of elder care planning and provides observations about the challenges and needs faced by seniors and their families as caregivers. The second section covers ideas on what you can do to prepare for this slowing down stage of life, which may easily cover 20 + years. Aging gracefully can be a challenge. The reality is that life can get messy as you get older, especially if you are not prepared. In the third section Barbara talks gaps and barriers and uses her father's experience of entering the medical system through the emergency department with a brain injury. Making decisions can be tough when in a crisis situation or when your health is declining or you're experiencing the natural aging process. You can't predict how you will age but the goal is to move into later retirement with a sense of well-being, peace and calm; to look back and enjoy the road you have traveled - potholes and all. Watch for her next publication of a workbook My Later Life Planning Guide and All-in-One Personal Resource Book. Create your later life plan, be mindful of the barriers and the gaps in systems and services around you and know the people supporting you will value the work you've done to help you age with peace of mind, grace and dignity.*The names and some of the situations are changed to clarify points being made while providing insight for seniors and their families.
