SENIOR ORPHANS: SURVIVAL SKILLS

The senior population is growing.  It is the largest in history.   And at age 88, I am one of  them.  The world is filled with senior orphans--individuals who live in the badly misnamed ‘golden years’ all by themselves.  No family nearby to help, nobody that cares.  There are articles about senior orphans, but no books.  Until now.  My latest book--Senior Orphans: Survival Skills, is now available, on line or in print form at Amazon.

So who am I, and what do I know about seniors?  I found, 28 years ago, that few if any useful books were available concerning the serious problems facing the elderly.  That is when I wrote my first book on the subject, You and Your Grandchildren: Special Ways to Keep in Touch.  It was a success, published by Price Sloan Stern and later by Putnam.  Then I wrote Mingled Roots: A Guide for Interfaith Grandchildren, published by  UAHC Press. 

While doing this, I became what the Kansas City Star called ‘the guru of grandparenting,’ appearing on national TV, radio shows, lecturing on major cruise lines, and writing a syndicated newspaper column.  I continued writing books, Make New Friends, Live Longer and then Ready or Not, Here I Come: How to Choose Your Best Retirement Community.

All of my books are written to help seniors cope with the many problems of aging.  I give them useful clues regarding how to stay independent as long as possible.  I carefully research all the new technology and assistance devices that can help seniors age in place.  Loneliness is devastating, and I give seniors a way to adapt and to make the most of their gift of years.

So why am I writing this to you?  Senior Orphans--Survival Skills would be of enormous value to residents of your community. To obtain copies of this book, please go to my website, makenewfriendslivelonger.com, or order from Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/Senior-Orphans-Survival-Skills-Sunie-Levin/dp/1698127529/
