Being a Man in Your 70s and Beyond
The emotional landscape of your 70s and beyond — what's happening beneath the noise of daily life, which feelings surface most, and where to look for help.
What's actually happening in your 70s and beyond
Your 70s and beyond are an unscripted decade for most men. The template of 'retire and die' has mercifully lost its grip. But the practical questions — how to keep meaning, how to accept help, how to say the things you wanted to say — become the center of life.
Themes that show up most: survivor's life, peer funerals, medical reality, reconciliation with estranged family, grand-parenting, legacy, dying well
