Getting Older Better

The Best Advice Ever on Money, Health, Creativity, Sex, Work, Retirement, and More

By: Pamela D. Blair, Ph.D.,Pamela D. Blair

Baby boomers are turning 65 at the rate of 12,000 a day. This is the ultimate guide filled with positive and practical advice for women for the second half of life. Here is everything boomers need to know about aging, but never thought (or were afraid to) to ask. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery; a journey in which the author and reader explore together the hopeful, interesting, and exciting aspects of aging alongside the more difficult ones. She encourages the fifty-plus population to (among other things) confront their fears, discover their spiritual selves, re-discover play, friends, and family, and embrace the future. Each essay is judiciously sprinkled with quotes from a wide range of women, including May Sarton, Edith Wharton, Betty White, Betty Friedan, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Helen Gurley Brown, and includes dozens of practical and motivational ideas, concrete suggestions for moving forward, and guidance for daily journaling.

The Long Grief Journey

How Long-Term Unresolved Grief Can Affect Your Mental Health and What to Do About It

By: Pamela D Blair PhD,Bradie McCabe Hansen MA

An essential grief guide and recovery workbook for those who have said, "I thought I'd feel better by now." Grief does not follow a timeline or a set path. It is nonlinear and messy, doubling back on itself just when you thought you were out of the woods. Those who have experienced the loss of a loved one know this unequivocally, but Western society still seems to think that grief should only last six months to a year—tops—when in fact, grief can last throughout a person's entire life and manifest as serious mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, and despair. The Long Grief Journey, co-written by a psychotherapist and a clinical psychologist who have both worked with grieving individuals for decades, is for the people who are past the acute pain and effects of a sudden loss and are now learning to live beyond that. It is for those who by all appearances seem to have "moved on." They're working, carrying out their responsibilities, showing up for important life events, yet they quietly bear the weight of their sadness and longing for their loved one. There's a name for this type of long-term, unresolved grief. In fact, there are several: complicated grief, traumatic grief, complex bereavement, prolonged grief, extended grief, abnormal grief, exaggerated grief, and pervasive grief disorder. If you feel "stuck" after experiencing the death of a loved one, even if much time has passed, this book is for you. With exercises, journal prompts, and rituals that will further help readers along their grief path, The Long Grief Journey, co-written by one of the authors of the classic grief book, I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye, is designed to educate, support, and coach you to rekindle a desire to live life fully, all while still cherishing and embracing the memories of your loved one. Named one of Choosing Therapy's "14 Best Books on Losing a Parent for 2022.
