In a culture obsessed with youth, aging can seem like a failure. My patients tell me a different story. They talk about the relief that comes from feeling settled and less self-conscious. They tell me how wonderful it is to be done with work and have ample time to explore other interests and to socialize. They talk of being free of responsibilities and having time to spend with their grandchildren. Many of these women have maintained a level of activity from which they are reaping health benefits in their 60’s and 70’s. They are active and contributing to society and their families and they are amazing role models to myself and others that are a generation or two behind them.
