When and how to launch a new book is a subject on which I can find a lot of advice. Most of it boils down to "promote it hard for six months before you make it availabe." But my book happens to be called "Helping Yourself Grow Old." And the subtitle is "Things I Said to Myself When I Was Almost Ninety."
So, because the old are getting older while I think about it and I am aware of what I have survived and how surprising it is that I am still here, and because so many people have said, "We want it now," I have decided to push the button.

My topic would be Helping Yourself Grow Old. That's the title of the new book I am hoping to get out before Christmas. The subtitle is Things I Said to Myself When I Was Almost Ninety.

I believe it will encourage and support readers from 65 to 95 and stimulate helpful group discussion. As for speaking, I am full of things to tell.

Give yourself time. You are the most important piece of this problem. Grieving all by itself occupies a large portion of your brain, leaving you with less energy to think,learn, make decisions. You did well to ask for advice. Make sure you have absorbed all these answers before you choose a new way forward. You will not be the same, but you will be freer, stronger, braver than before.
