About Until It's Time: Embracing Life In Our Later Years
Until It’s Time blends memoir with an honest and open discussion of aging that embraces elderhood in a realistic and supportive way. The author’s life and work experiences as an associate professor, a clinical specialist in gerontology, and a holistic nurse ground her experience.
The book broadens its discussion by tackling issues currently prevailing in our society. It is supportive of those who want to live their best, well-informed lives. There are suggestions on how to care for oneself in body, mind, and spirit, how to understand the generations and the shifts that have occurred and our place in them, other options for dealing with a healthcare challenge, technology’s effect on our modern lives, and how to find support in our ancestral roots.The book is both thought-provoking and uplifting! The author’s own relationship with her husband of sixty-plus years guides the book’s premise of how to be together and remain friends and wise supporters of each other.
Myra uses the Moon and its phases as an anchor for her story. The phases of planting seeds, peak energy, release, fresh energy, momentum, patience, readjustment, and surrender serve as the grounding for each chapter’s focus, adding another dimension to the book’s story.
The book also shares the author’s study of Astrology and its practice, including perspectives at the end of every chapter that can help in understanding human relationships. Ultimately, this book is about living a fuller and more loving life in our later years.
