| Summary: | As one enters and progresses through old age, one experiences various unwelcome changes. One suffers declines in most physical abilities as well as in certain cognitive capacities; one becomes physically less attractive, or, perhaps, more unattractive. One's friends and loved ones succumb with increasing frequency to illness and death, leaving one submerged in grief and loneliness and the familiar world one has known continues to recede into a past that few remember. Perhaps worst of all, the goods of life that remain in prospect are few, and rapidly become ever fewer. |
