Description

“Now what?” Millions of us ask this question as we, or our parents or grandparents, suddenly face an age-related challenge. We need fast answers. In this book, experts provide practical advice, including how to form a caregiving team, ensure home and online safety, maintain mobility and support independence. The writers also emphasize the gifts of aging, including deepened relationships and new opportunities to give back to our communities. The book is written so that aging individuals, their families and caregivers can read it and find solutions together.

 

“An amazing feature of this volume is its ability to address both caregivers and those in need of support, fellowship and aid to improve quality of life,” Robert J. Wicks, the author of many books about resilience, writes about this new book. “You will be so much better prepared to live a full life more sagely and enjoyably with less unnecessary worry, and guide others in the process as well.”

Lucille Sider, author and psychologist, urges “churches and community groups to give two books to each family, one for the senior and one for a friend or relative, so that an entire family can read this book together.”

“What a gift this book is!” writes Lian Dolan, author and host of the Satellite Sisters podcast. “Now What? is a thorough and thoughtful guide to aging that is a must-read for those who are 65 and beyond or those who are dealing with aging parents or relatives. I wish I’d had Now What? when I was caregiving for my parents. I had so many questions and this book provides so many answers! The information is accessible, well-organized and practical, but also warm and encouraging.”


Chapters are helpfully divided into 23 topics, encouraging readers to immediately jump into sections that are most relevant. This is “a comprehensive how-to manual for successful aging and living a full life,” writes Wayne Baker of the Center for Positive Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

Among the 23 chapters are:
● You Are Not Alone: Connecting in healthy ways with our community
