An Apropos Article on Aging as a New Chance at Life
Comments | Posted by Jared Scheib in Food for Thought, Topical Links
I highly recommend reading Marc E. Agronin’s article, “Old Age, From Youth’s Narrow Prism”, which a friend of mine forwarded to me after reading it and thinking of Life’s Waltz. As a doctor, he writes about how our (and his, as it’s a first-person story) perspective and presumptions about old age were upended when he visited a newly widowed woman of 93 years of age at a nursing home in Miami. It’s brief, and it’s spot on, carrying the same message that Life’s Waltz aims to demonstrate.
