Single at Seventy

A routine visit to Nan's physician triggered a wave of introspection about choices available for women (and men, potentially) who are single at 70. This quick-to-read "treatise" addresses aging in place, pros and cons of living in a retirement community, liabilities of caregiving for and from a loved one, liabilities of caregiving for and from an adult child, and the current status of assisted dying in the U.S. and abroad. Brenda writes in a conversational style, bantering with Nan about insights gained from personal stories of aging friends and family while adding new insights gained from her research on aging's journey.
