For fans of David Cedaris and Nora Efron, I will separate the award-winning journalist Steven Petro’s wild-popular New York Times, when I grow old, I will separate it. ,
Immediately after his 50th birthday, Petro began collecting a list of “when I get old, I will not do”-a list of more than all the things he thought that his 70-year-old parents were doing wrong. In the list in which “you’ll not shout for me that I am deaf,” and “I will not blame the family dog for my incontinence,” it is not included, “it has become the basis of this rousing collection of Doz & Dons, Wils and Wils that is a person to be enlightened, honest and practical.
The fact is, we do not want to age in the way of the previous generations. “Old people” hoards. They bore relatives and strangers equally – with stories of their pain and pain. They insist on driving for a long time when they become a threat to others (and themselves). They eat dinner at 4 pm. They swear that they do not need a cane or walker (and feel what happens next). They never apologize, never, never. But there is another way…
When I get old, in stupid things, petro clearly addresses the apprehensions, disappointments and stereotypes with aging. He provides a blueprint for new old age, and an understanding is that aging and disease are not the same. As he writes, “I mean to serve the list as a pointed reminder – for me – to make different options when I eventually cross the threshold from ‘old’.”
Being old is a privilege. This essential guide shows how to do it with grace, knowledge, humor and hope. And without hoardings.
