ABOUT THE BOOK"In Our Stories Lies Our Strength: Aging, Spirituality, and Narrative" is aimed at thoughtful older adults who are committed to aging as creatively, as positively, and as resiliently as possible amid the challenges and changes that come with later life. It is aimed as well at professionals and volunteers who offer spiritual care to older adults in a wide range of settings, from hospitals to nursing homes, from hospice to rehabilitation, and from religious congregations to community centers. These include: chaplains, pastors, rabbis, priests, parish nurses, social workers, therapists, spiritual directors, and volunteers - anyone whose calling is to listen deeply to older adults' stories and, in the process, help them to re-story in healing and life-affirming ways.ABOUT THE AUTHORWilliam L. (Bill) Randall is Professor of Gerontology at St. Thomas University. Prior to entering academic life, he was a minister for 11 years with the United Church of Canada, serving pastorates in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick. A graduate of Harvard College, Princeton Seminary, and the University of Toronto, he is author or co-author of over 60 publications on the topic of Narrative Gerontology, including the books "The Stories We Are: An Essay on Self-Creation" (University of Toronto Press, 1995/2014), "Reading Our Lives: The Poetics of Growing Old" (Oxford University Press, 2008), and "The Narrative Complexity of Ordinary Life: Tales from the Coffee Shop" (Oxford UP, 2015). He has been chief co-organizer of three international conferences called "Narrative Matters" and is co-editor of the online, peer-reviewed journal, "Narrative Works." With a special interest in aging and spirituality (broadly defined), Bill joins a growing number of researchers and practitioners worldwide who acknowledge the power of "narrative care" in promoting emotional and mental well-being in later life.

A central assumption of narrative spirituality is that the act of retelling the story of episodes of our lives can help us better see the larger Guiding Story that God dreams for us. When I can see my Guiding Story more clearly, I am better able to handle crisis and transition and better able to see my true purpose. Story Work/Story Play lays out a four-door method of spirituality that invites participants to explore their Guiding Story through four doors that correspond to the four parts of any story—a main character, a problem to solve, the power needed to solve it, and the action taken by the main character. The chapter for each of these four “doors” provides theological, psychological, and scriptural foundations for the narrative method and includes up to ten to fifteen “story work/story play” exercises the reader can use to practice the method. Each chapter also includes profile stories of real people who have discovered layers of their own Guiding Stories. The book ends each chapter with a Guided Visualization. The book’s final chapter explains how members of a “narrative circle” can use the narrative spirituality tools of this book to discern each one’s own unique Guiding Story.

A Poetic Language Of Ageing written by Olga V. Lehmann and has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-05-18 with Literary Criticism categories.
Exploring the potential of poetry and poetic language as a means of conveying perspectives on later life, this book examines questions such as 'how can we understand ageing and later life?' and 'how can we capture the ambiguities and complexities that the experiences of growing old in time and place entail?' As poetic language illuminates, transfigures and enchants our being in the world, it also offers insights into the existential questions that are amplified as we age, including the vulnerabilities and losses that humble us and connect us. This volume suggests a path towards the poetics of ageing by means of presenting analyses of published poetry on ageing ranging from William Shakespeare to George Oppen; the use of reading and writing poetry among lay people in old age, including persons living with dementia; and the poetic nuances that emerge from other literary practices and contexts in relation to ageing – counting personal poetic reflections from many of the contributing authors.

The history of salmon worldwide is not a happy one; overfishing and habitat loss have destroyed the once-great Atlantic runs and severely damaged those of North American's west coast. Only in Alaska have management regimes and habitat protections safeguarded the fish that so many depend upon--so far. Alaskans know that to face the challenges ahead we need to recognize our shared dependence and responsibility. We need to know one another's stories and to question what it will take to maintain salmon runs, ecological health, and the place of salmon in our lives. Made of Salmon brings together over fifty diverse Alaskan voices to celebrate the fish that holds a central place in the lives, cultures, and values of those who depend on salmon for food, livelihoods, recreation, and a sense of community. The longer works by some of Alaska's finest writers thoughtfully and artfully explore the significance of salmon in the lives of Alaskans. The shorter, more anecdotal works add their writers' own "salmon love" to the mix. Photographer Clark James Mishler visually captures Alaskans fishing for, catching, preserving, and eating salmon from Southeast to Bristol Bay and points between and beyond. This book is an effort to bring heart-and-mind stories from every corner of our salmon-loving state into a conversation that will delight and energize readers everywhere.

The Water Lies shares the true story of the Mucha family of Biloxi, Mississippi before, during, and after the hour when Hurricane Katrina tore their lives apart. Experience this familys love and dedication as they confronted and overcame a lack of trust and the brutal consequences of poor decisions. Broken dreams, broken hearts, and facing death at different times threatened this family in untold ways, until now. In sixty minutes, Hurricane Katrina changed countless lives forever. This is one familys story that bares the raw emotions experienced by so many of the families of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. While the country and world embraced the tragic story of New Orleans, and justifiably so, the people of the Mississippi Gulf Coast went about trying to rebuild their lives. This region took the strongest part of Hurricane Katrina. Communities were literally erased. Hundreds of thousands of Mississippians lost their homes, churches, schools, employment their very culture. While no two stories in The Water Lies are alike, they all represent the horror of losing everything and the tenacity of starting over. Choices can never be made without consequences and those consequences can be valuable learning opportunities.

Having a chronic disease is a frustrating, sometimes painful process, especially if those around you don't support you. I myself have chronic diseases-autoimmune diseases such as lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, and Scleroderma. I also have fibromyalgia. I know what it's like to have flare ups and others around you do not understand. It is not surprising that many people suffering with chronic diseases have anxiety and depression. I hope you find this book helpful and I wish you all the best!
