Aging is a natural process, and many people experience no aging issues and live full and active lives well into their retirement years. But for others, aging can pose unique challenges including health issues, stress, cognitive decline, physical decline and the acceptance of our own mortality.
In can be particularly difficult for many people when their friends, spouses, siblings or partners start passing on, leading to issues of isolation, depression, and anxiety.
Although the later stages of life can be challenging, profound benefits are also potential at these stages. The aging individual is forced to slow down, giving him or her the chance to reflect on Bigger Picture aspects of Self and Life.
In moving beyond previous social, career, and family roles, the senior has the chance to access new parts of his or her personality, talents, and lifelong goals that may have been set aside during the fast-paced lifestyle and urgent demands of the younger years. Some of the most common issues seniors face include :
- Social Isolation
- Family Issues
- Social Anxiety
- Career and Retirement Issues
- Financial Worries
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Physical Health Issues
- Cognitive Challenges
- Chronic Pain
- Memory Issues
- Questions About Death and Dying
- Search for Deeper Spiritual Meaning
