Gray-haired baby boomers living their senior years with gusto have plenty of advice to share on getting the most out of what’s left of this lifetime. The problem is, who listens to them?
The new book, The Time of Your Life – Everyone Has a Story (General Store Publishing House), gives emerging seniors a platform to share their words of wisdom. The stories, from 40 people aged from their early 50s to late 90s, provide a road map to life. Each mini-memoir of four or five pages are succinct yet powerful.
Canadian writers Gayle Leona Jabour and Daniel Tigner interviewed everyday people with interesting tales to tell. Their poignant, multi-faceted chronicles of lives well lived also show how to die well.
Gayle Leona Jabour and Daniel Tigner join host Gail Rubin on A Good Goodbye Radio on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. ET/3:00 p.m. PT to discuss amazing stories of living fully and dying well.
Topics include:
- How aging differs in different cultures
- Near Death Experiences and how they influence attitudes toward living
- How to achieve dying with dignity and humor
- Palliative care and how it helps facilitate a good death
- Ways to cope with the death of loved ones.
