Aging and Beyond: A Travel Guide For the Final Journey

By: Buckley, Geoffrey

Part of the adventure of traveling is the anticipation and all the planning that goes into embarking on a journey. There was a time in years past when we might have purchased a map or a guidebook, checked out travel videos from the library, and talked to people who had already visited where we wanted to go. It's hard to find the right map you can trust for your final journey, and no one can tell you exactly what to expect. But Aging and Beyond aims to be a helpful guidebook for your journey through the last stage of your life (the aging) and into your eventual death (the beyond).

At 73 years old, Geoffrey Buckley, a psychotherapist with 40 years of experience, generously shares stories of how he and some of his clients are approaching their final journey. He advocates for the values he sees as important to living a good life, such as creativity, kindness, beauty, wonder, dignity, and gratitude. He offers practical suggestions on retirement, planning your memorial service, and dealing with the depression, isolation, and sorrow that often accompany aging. With his exceptionally approachable voice peppered with good humor and humility, readers are in good hands with Buckley as their salt-of-the-earth guide through what can be one of the most challenging times of our lives.
