Description: "Gerontologists Janet L. Ramsey and Rosemary Blieszner have recorded narratives of spiritually resilient German and American women and offer here a rare combination of listening, personal storytelling, and professional reflection. Avoiding simplistic answers and acknowledging the ambiguity of human experience, the authors give voice to a remarkably unheard group: strong older women. In this unique book, you will find unforgettable stories of courage and faith, as well as provocative suggestions on how to enrich your clinical and academic work through an increased emphasis on spiritual coping."--BOOK JACKET.
