Aged in Vermont
“Old age ain’t
no place for sissies,” Bette Davis said. Well, sissies or not,
we’re all headed for that place. And the better we know the
geography, the easier it will be to navigate.
“Aged in
Vermont” is a monthly article on aging issues,
organized by Westminster
Cares. We’re asking local professionals and residents with an
interest in these issues to write them.
The articles
are not just reading material for the “aged.” Young, old and
middle-aged reader’s – anyone with an elderly parent, relative
or friend, or who just wants to learn about these important
issues that affect us all – is invited to take a look.
Remember: “It’s not how old you are; it’s how you are old.”
We will
address such topics as losing a pet, sleeping problems,
supplements, advanced directives and creativity. We’ll explore
questions such as should I move to town? and decision making:
whose life is this anyway?
Ideas for
future columns? We’d like to hear from you. Email Ronnie
Friedman at
wecares@sover.net.
