[F3] In Western society many people are now living to great ages. Some people try to ignore old age; they hate it so much that they cling to youth. Others are sucked into it prematurely; they surrender to self-pity and become miserable. Some find a way of nurturing the human spirit despite considerable adversity and suffering. In this book Una Kroll writes directly from her own experience, both as someone who has worked with older people as a family doctor and Anglican priest, and from her own experience of old age.
