Learning to accept death as a part of life is a fundamental pillar in the wisdom of the elderly. The truth is that they accept that death is near, but that doesn’t keep them from living their lives. Realizing this makes them enjoy what they have so much more. They continue to add great memories and experiences to the story of their lives. However, other types of losses are a bit more difficult to deal with. For example the deterioration of their own physical and mental abilities and losing people close to them (friends and family). Family occupies the most important place in their hearts, as it is during childhood. The difference is that it’s not their parents who play the most important role, but their children. Most elderly people feel better or worse depending on how they envision their children’s future. They want them to settle down, have a family of their own, and be happy.
