In 2025, 60 million Americans will be age 65 or older. Another 24 million Americans, mostly women, will be serving as caretakers. In nine short years, nearly one-third of all American citizens will be deep into the aging process. In retirement, these older individuals will become virtually invisible. They will lose their work identity, their spouse, their homes, and most of their prized possessions. They will be erased. The Eraser: Existential Musings in Senior America uses facts, stories, and humor to explain the paths of this important time in our lives. If you are approaching old age or caring for an elder, this book is for you.
