Sue and Shan are contemplating whether older individuals feel seen by others. Every day, 11,000 Americans reach the age of 65, which leads us to ask the poignant question, “Do you see me?” Retirement can often be less than idyllic; it may bring feelings of loneliness, fear, and sadness. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Every person matters, and sometimes, we simply need to discover our purpose. Unavoidable, Adventures in Aging serves as a vital resource, helping older adults find their purpose and highlighting the significance of “mattering.”
