Will You Still Need Me? : Growing Older with or Without a Significant Other
Will You Still Need Me? is a poignant book organized around interviews with individuals of various ages who have responded to questions about ageing. The interviewees offer their unguarded thoughts about ageing with a significant other ? or alone. They reveal their self perceptions, their feelings about the future, their self-image as it relates to ageing, and their expectations and impressions of ageing itself. They also share their concerns that with ageing comes not only possible loneliness, but also worthlessness. Psychotherapist Angela Browne-Miller weaves the findings into a philosophical, research-based overview of cross-generational concerns and feelings about ageing. Her book opens a window into the hearts and minds of our parents, our peers, and our children as they look at the ageing process and at how individuals, society, and families treat ageing. Through the sensitive, up-close-and-personal, bird's-eye view of the people interviewed for this book, ageing unfolds into a deeply stirring experience, one to be understood by all.
