老いればさまざまな面で、肉体的および機能的な劣化が進みます。

Thanks to increases in life expectancy, we can now expect to live for a long time. Most of us would welcome an extra day in the week, so why do so many of us view the prospect of additional years with fear and skepticism? The reason is simple: society is not currently structured to support long lives. Rather than thinking in terms of the needs of a rising number of older people, we must instead support the young and middle-aged to prepare differently for the longer futures they can expect.

In un mondo dove l'uomo crede di avere in mano il suo destino, corriamo un grande rischio: non ammettere che il filo rosso dell'esistenza si possa indebolire e spezzare e non comprendere gli aspetti positivi di ogni trasformazione a partire dalla bellezza di invecchiare.

"Meine Mutter", hält er fest, "war ihr ganzes Leben lang unglücklich."

Die Sorge um die alt werdenden Eltern ist eine der großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Familienstrukturen haben sich aufgelöst, das Leben in der globalisierten Welt fordert maximale Flexibilität und Mobilität. Die wenigsten von uns sind darauf vorbereitet, plötzlich für gebrechliche Menschen da sein zu müssen. Pflege reißt Lücken in unsere Lebensläufe und konfrontiert uns mit uns selbst. Dies umso mehr, wenn die Eltern den Zweiten Weltkrieg erlebt haben und in ihrer Seele unaufgearbeitete Traumata verbergen, die oft über Generationen nachwirken.
