Aging, Health & Grief
Stereotyping and/or discrimination against individuals or groups on the basis of their age can be casual or systemic, and we don’t realize we have succumbed to it while in a race to stay young.
Staying as healthy as possible, while being open to curiosity and excitement to try new things, offers us many opportunities to enjoy getting older and experience what could be the best stage of our lives.
Adult grief can be triggered by various losses, including the death of a spouse, parent, sibling, child, friend, or other significant person in one’s life. It is characterized by a range of emotional, physical, and psychological responses, including sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, denial, disbelief, and numbness.
In many of our episodes, we discuss how to confront our feelings about all of the above topics.
