    About this series

    Ruthanne Koyama has great advice for those of us who are treading lightly around the subject of aging.

    It’s time to break the cycle of silence that creates stressful situations between aging parents and family members. There are facts available in this book to help and guide both children and parents through these times of discussions, and bring about calm resolutions.

    We would rather sweep some of these moments under the carpet than face up to them, but that isn’t going to help either party, be it the parent or the children.

    While still living at home, safely is only one aspect of what seniors and their adult children need to consider.

    Who better to learn from than one who has experienced these difficult moments than the author herself.  Her experience in moments with not only parents but aging siblings also provides guidance to those who will undoubtedly be challenged with this at som point in their lives.

    Ruthanne says aging has many aspects, some good, some not so good.

    Creating an environment between both parties is essential to a fruitful outcome and Ruthanne certainly has much to contribute towards making this pathway easy to access.

    “Talk to me,” she says. A great way to begin to understand those three little words would be to take hold of Ruthanne’s current advice; see the value of her experiences, and enjoy life from both sides of this aging issue.

    You may have noticed in this and all my books and websites have a focus on aging and doing so well. Having lost parents and several siblings, that were much older, I have gained insight to what the aging process was, is and how I think it could be. It is these insights that have given me my voice and the desire to help not only myself but others learn how to live well, live happy and live long.  My personal goal is to share what I learn as I continue on my own journey of aging and to hopefully demonstrate all the good there is to come.  I will admit that aging, even for myself is not always easy or without pain, but through the pain comes the determination to seek out the enjoyable times of life.
