Description

More than thirty-five years ago, a longitudinal study was established to
research the health and well-being of older people living in an English
city. Self and Meaning in the Lives of Older People provides a unique set
of portraits of forty members of this group who were interviewed in depth
from their later seventies onwards. Focusing on sense of self-esteem and,
especially, of continued meaning in life following the loss of a spouse and
onset of frailty, this book sensitively illustrates these persons' efforts
to maintain independence, to continue to have a sense of belonging and to
contribute to the lives of others. It examines both the psychological and
the social resources needed to flourish in later life and draws attention
to this generation's ability to benefit from strong family support and from
belonging to a faith community. In conclusion, it questions whether future
generations will be as resilient.
