Stress in Later Life
No-one wants to get old, but as they say, it’s better than the alternative. These three books
deal with many of the major stresses of later life.
A one hundred year old man was asked how he lived so long.
He said: "Every morning I figure I have a choice:
to feel good all day—or bad. I say, "Oh, what the hell,"
and I decide to feel good. That’s why I live so long.”
Believe it or not, the later years
are actually the happiest years
of our lives! But aging does
present us with special
challenges. We face more
illness, losses of friends,
family, and faculties...
retirement... and ultimately
death. This book presents a
simplified model of stress and
relates it to each of the specific
problems we face. Topics
covered include: * retirement, *
worry about dementia - and
how to prevent it, * end of life
issues, * getting good medical
care, * financial strain, * facing
death, and * grief.
"..... The book is packed with vital
information. The feeling I
received...was that an informed,
experienced medical practitioner
was having a serious talk with me,
caring about me, trusting me with
vital information, confident I would
make the best use of it......
generally the humour is genuinely
funny. I appreciated the
graphics....the inclusion of an
excellent bibliography is an
important addition. This
book......will be an important
addition to the resources that will
guide us through the maze of the
aging process.

There are no simple
answers for dealing with
loss and no strict
timetables for "getting
over it." This book takes
a simple stress program
and relates it to the
unique stresses we face
when we lose a loved
one. Topics include: * a
brief overview of the
grieving process * the
use of medication *
dealing with anger, guilt
and fear * financial
worries * insomnia *
loneliness – and more.
Caregivers face large
amounts of chronic
stress which puts the
caregiver at risk of
burnout and depression.
Caregivers must care
for themselves first, for
the same reason the
airline attendants tell
parents with children to
put on their oxygen
first. If you are gone,
there will be no-one to
do the caring, and being
a solo caregiver is not
only stressful but can
damage your health in
many ways.
