by Joyce K. Porter (Author) Are you or someone you care about dealing with the new challenges in life that the senior years present? In Mastering Senior Life, you will find practical, easily understood advice from someone who has dealt with both thriving and surviving. Ms Porter is an active and involved senior who shares tips about how senior life can open new, exciting doors. They range from ways to unlock your creativity to how to save money on travel. How can you get the best deal on a car rental? What are you going to do with your extra time when you retire? How can you be in movies? What forms should you fill out to protect your family, medically, financially, and emotionally? Of course, almost everyone eventually will deal with health issues, and Ms. Porter experienced so many aspects of medical challenges throughout her late husband's many illnesses. After learning so much through hard personal experience, she wrote this self-help book partly because she wished she'd had a guide to help her navigate so many unknowns, and she wanted to help others. For example: Do you know the difference between palliative care and hospice? What does a CNA do that a nurse does not? How do you handle mobility problems if you want to travel? What role should you play if someone close to you is ill? What are some resources you can turn to? What do you have to do when someone dies? Few of us have any training on how to handle the challenges senior life presents. This volume will serve as a wonderful, empowering, comforting, and often joyful companion along your journey through your own or another's senior years, and it would make a compassionate, helpful gift.
