Sinopsis:

Críticas: This richly affirming book explodes the modern myth that the elderly are a burden. Everyone should read it, since it is relevant to us all, whether we are approaching old age ourselves or have elderly relatives or friends. As someone with a terminal diagnosis, I found myself repeatedly saying an emphatic Yes to every chapter. --Michael Wenham, author, I Choose Everything

As more people are living longer, society is struggling to care for the elderly and meet their spiritual needs. Rich in Years does not shy away from the difficult aspects of aging loss of faculties, health issues, loneliness, and facing the end of life. But its wise insights, often told through touching real-life stories, ring true and point the way to a more hopeful and humane path for older people and their families and caregivers. --Steve Auty, Chief Executive, Pilgrims Hospices

An inspirational read for grandparents and indeed people of all ages. It deals sensitively with so many issues relating to aging and infirmity that people do not like to think about or talk about, but really should. I found Rich in Years beautiful, helpful and full of love. --Catherine Wiley, Founder, Catholic Grandparents Association
