- W2463408878 abstract "In contrast to much gerontological research, which provides only a glimpse of thelived experiences of later life, this study investigated the views, practices andcircumstances of older people using a biographical approach.Men and women presented a variety of meanings concerning later life and theirstories both reflected and resisted some of the commonly held and sociallyconstructed views about later life. All said that they did not feel old, althoughparticipants described times in their lives when they did feel old: when they were ill,made redundant or bereaved. Growing older was linked to illness, decline andburden even when this contradicted, as it often did, participants' substantiveexperiences. Although there are problems and challenges that accompany later life,they are not necessarily overwhelming. Later life was generally portrayed as anactive period, in which participants continued to live their lives in an engaged way;helping others, striving for independence, celebrating older age and enjoying itsfreedoms.People's attitudes and experiences of later life were seen also to be a reflection oftheir lifetime roles, for example, whether or not they had been active in helpingothers or had socialised with others in the past. Capabilities and needs were not fixedbut changed, according to individual experiences and attitudes, as well asrequirements in the face of ill health or financial problems; needs which varied atdifferent times and at different points of the life course.It is argued that the views and experiences of older people should be used as a basisfor shaping theory, practice and research." @default.
