It
takes courage to face old age and death, but growing old and nearing the end
can also be times of reflection and gratitude, even joy. Consider these two
books:
Accenting
the rewards of maturity, Joan Chittister in The Gift of Years: Growing Old
Gracefully
might help you find the courage you wish you had. Sooner or later, after all,
we will need it. Paper, $13.95
And
then there are the even more difficult end-of-life decisions. To help prepare
or to find answers you need right now, Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal: Medicine
and What Matters in the End offers a thoughtful physician’s perspective. Paper, $16
