Maybe the burdens that come with aging would be so bad for them or us? ... You may be inspired by this guide. The authors website is elderwisdomcircle.org
Who can we turn to for wisdom in the world? What can we learn from our older generation? How can we help them to live happier, healthier lives? How can we receive our elders back into society - back into a world that desperately needs insight from an older person's perspective?
