Produktbeschreibung

Settling In is a collection of meditations that came from the journal of Richard Morgan when, at age 74, he moved to a retirement community in Pennsylvania. Reflecting on his experience, the author identified three major stages in his spiritual journey: - Initial excitement and euphoria; - Second thoughts and regrets; - Discerning his life in the community. These meditations will help those who are considering entering a continuing care/retirement community and for the adult children and caregivers of persons facing such a decision. The author's generous sharing of his own experience will help prepare those considering a life transition and also help their loved ones to understand the struggles older adults go through as they seek to make a place their home. - Persons in later life who are considering options for later years - Staff and administration of retirement communities--especially chaplains - Adult children of older adults
