Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old?

Plan Now to Safeguard Your Health and Happiness in Old Age By Joy Loverde

(from the author of the best-seller The Complete Eldercare Planner)

According to the Journals of Gerontology, “one in three baby boomers falls into the category of separated, divorced, widowed, or never married.” Millennials are also following this trend; a recent Gallup poll indicates that 59 percent of the 73 million millennials are single and have never married.

Adding fuel to the fire is the caregiver crisis – the decline in the number of people available to provide in-home care, including family members. Longevity, singledom, and isolation is a recipe for disaster.

Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old?: Plan Now to Safeguard Your Health and Happiness in Old Age by Joy Loverde is a step-by-step guide to living the life you want for as long as possible.

Every day, I relive the critical decision I made as a fourteen-year-old attending Trinity, an all-girl’s Catholic high school in River Forest, Illinois. When Sr. Dorothy was looking for a student to visit nursing-home residents on Thanksgiving morning, I hesitated; then raised my hand to volunteer. That decision changed my life forever.

Upon entering the nursing home, I observed seven residents sitting motionless in the dark. No one was talking. No one was smiling. Everyone was staring into nothingness. I was shocked at what I witnessed, and immediately started grappling for answers to questions no one seemed to be asking:

Who are these elders?

What series of events led them to a life of resignation?

How did they end up isolated and alone in their old age?

And why are they not with their families on Thanksgiving Day?

Since that visit to the nursing home, I have never looked back. I vowed to find answers to these and other vital questions. For the next 40 years I would advocate and troubleshoot the causes, concepts, and needs of the world’s aging population. Especially people who are aging solo.

My career-path in marketing and media relations switched gears in the mid-1980’s when I became keenly aware of complex problems associated with populations of people getting older, living alone, living longer, and the need to care for them. Responding to this trend, I wrote my first boo, The Complete Eldercare Planner. Random House is the publisher. It is a best-seller in its category and in its sixth edition.

Ahead of the curve once again, my latest book, Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old? offers practical strategies on planning for old age and the possibility of aging solo.

“When we plan, we have choices.” This is the promise of both of my books.

Bob Blancato, Chairman, American Society on Aging

“Your book is the support many are looking for.”

Sherrill Wayland MSW, Manager of National Projects

“This book effectively challenges the notion that aging means disability

and with that, stigma of being old.”

Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., Director, Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging

University of California, San Diego

“…thoughtfully discusses a wide range of crucial life issues with

deep understanding, complete candor, and inspired guidance for all.”

Loverde has spent a lifetime interacting with thousands of true experts—old people themselves. Using their advice as a blueprint, Loverde outlines five sections to think about and get in order when planning for old age: personal readiness, housing, relationships (including beloved pets), chronic illness and health, and end of life.

• Making friends in later life and creating a support network

• Critical thinking and making smarter decisions

• Customizable checklists and worksheets

• Making a home age-friendly and exploring alternate home options

IG21-42 Colonel David J. Giammona. The Military Guide to Armageddon FOR YOUR SOUL.

October 18, 2021October 25, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest David J. Giammona, on air from October 19th

“Using both military and spiritual warfare tactics, this U.S. Army colonel and chaplain fully equips readers to walk in the supernatural power and protection of the Holy Spirit as world events and biblical prophecies intersect”–
We’re about to face the most difficult days in the history of mankind and if we’re not prepared we could be swept away with all the propaganda and all the politics of the world. Unless we’re prepared, unless we’re awakened from our sleep, unless we’re ready to encounter God, then we’re not going to be able to fully engage in the ministry and warfare that God has for us.
?
The church in America, in its current state, is not ready or prepared for the End Times. We have been paralyzed with fear of what man may do to us.
If we are not prepared, we’re going to falter, or even worse, reject our faith and succumb to the world system and the worship of the Antichrist. Whether you’re ready or not, we’re at war right now. The forces of light and darkness are lined up in battle array. You’re either on one side or the other; there is no neutral ground.

21-42 Cold-Flu Solutions & Etiquette

October 18, 2021December 4, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from October 19th

I have just had my first cold of the season, I am hoping not to have any more, but I did not build my system up in time for this one. ECHINACEA and VIT C are great in building up your immune system and protecting you from cold and flu season, I just had not started my regime yet.

If you get a cold or the flu, please stay at home. First of all, it is better for you to rest, drink warm fluids, and get over the worst of it. Secondly, you do not need to pass it on, especially to vulnerable people who are subject to covid. Thirdly, it can prevent other colds or viruses getting you if you take care of this one now and rebuild your immune system.

Get well, your body does not want you to push through it, rest heal, and do not pass it on. In these times, we do not want to get sick or cause a panic amongst people who fear covid or just getting sick as it weakens your immune system, we can prevent it, and if we do fall ill, heal the old fashioned way and with so many holistic means, as seem below.

The body knows what it needs, so listen, and society knows what it needs so please respect and do not pass any of it on or just suck it up, no one wants your cold. Fear weakens the system and plays havoc with the mind, so if you do get the chills, know you can do something about it and that it requires you to nurture and love they self well again.

ECHINACEA/Golden Seal take before sickness and keep it up to boost your system.

and VIT C, take any time, but especially in preventing of having a cold.

Hot Lemon/Ginger/Honey water/tea helps warm the chest and is soothing.

Rest/sleep, is great healing and strengthens the body to heal.

Buckley’s cold and flu tablets helped me a lot and prevented bronchitis.

Vicks chest rub does wonders, place under the nose too.

Happy TV/Movies, nothing to cause anxiety.

DO NOT PASS IT ON, STAY HOME, REST, RECOUP AND RESPECT.

He traveled to China to compete in a twenty-two-nation Kung Fu tournament at the age of 66, winning two gold medals, and has now written a book so that young people can hopefully understand that who they are as unique and deeper than what people can see.

TM21-42 Charlie Sheldon, Strong Heart Stories

October 18, 2021October 18, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Stories Matter/Authors Kiss, with Sara Troy and her guest Charlie Sheldon, on air from October 19th

“I believe it was the telling of stories that made us modern humans, because a story can carry lessons and history one generation to the next. I believe something happened around 70-100,000 years ago when two different types of ancient hominids bred and their offspring’s brains were wired differently, enabling those offspring to imagine and tell stories, recounting of the past, imaginings of the future, rules to live by. This, I believe, is what happened and from which flowed art, burial of the dead, religion, and culture – the first origins of ancient truth, legends, and myth, carried among us still. It was the telling of stories that made us human, and is still. My Strong Heart Series, in some small way, imagines how this might have happened, and how people today could have made such a discovery.”

Every great scientific discovery began as a heretical, outrageous idea dismissed and condemned by all. Those ideas that today are considered foolish, even dangerous, may turn out to be true, given evidence, often much evidence, to counter the huge power of the status quo. I write fiction about these issues, often with a touch of magic realism, even a breath of fantasy, for only in those realms can the reader accept and truly imagine what today might be considered impossible.

I have always been a writer, always a hiker, trained as a wildlife biologist, living in the Pacific Northwest, a husband, father, grandfather, and friend. In my work life I was a graduate student teacher, a commercial fisherman, a house painter, a fisheries consultant, a treasure hunter, then a planner, a construction manager, a project manager, even an executive for various seaports – for 28 years. During my years working for seaports I was involved with several difficult environmental cleanups, including Superfund sites, and for many years I worked with local tribes negotiating fishing agreements between their salmon fishermen and harbor operations in Seattle. After I retired from port work at age 65 in 2012 I went back to sea as a merchant sailor, container ships and military reserve vessels, as a watch stander and able bodied seaman, for four years, then quit for good to write these books about Olympic National Park, the Gulf of Alaska, a certain ornery young girl, and ancient history – I call it the Strong Heart Series.

For several years I performed maritime poetry at the Fisher Poets festival in Oregon and similar events near Seattle.

During my work life I spent more time than I care to admit before groups of people speaking, presenting, often before hostile crowds; I was a certified teacher for a private company teaching decision making and problem analysis for over a decade; and after retirement have conducted book readings and discussions at bookstores and retirement communities throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Before writing my latest series of books I did years of research into human origins, archeology, geology, ice ages, and climate change to develop the foundation for my Strong Heart series of books, which ask the question: could the ancient legends of most First peoples of North America that they have always been here – always – be true? Along the way I have learned much about what we know, and how much more we do not know, plus a healthy dose of aversion to zealotry and people who are absolutely convinced they know what is best for the rest of us.

I’d love to discuss how one’s personal experiences become the foundation for what they write about, and the relationship between one’s training and values and what emerges from the point of the pen. In my Strong Heart series, in addition to exploring ancient legends and the origins of “modern humans” about 70000 years ago, I also explore the struggle between development and preservation, the dangers of zealotry, coming of age, and what makes a family and a home. Along the way there is much I can share about hiking, backpacking, the Pacific Northwest and Olympic National Park, seafaring, and survival. I am also a water dowser – true – with some stories about that, too.

Went to Yale, UMass for an MS in wildlife biology, then went to sea as a commercial fisherman. Spent 30 years working for ports, then back to sea at 65 as a merchant sailor. Came ashore for good in my 70^th year in 2016 to flog my tales and write. I live in Tacoma Washington, hike the Olympics whenever I can, cook for my wife, and row on Puget Sound in my Adirondack guide boat.
