Wising Up: Ritual Resources for Women of Faith in Their Journey of Aging

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Wising Up provides rituals and guidance for women as they age. It helps them make the often difficult life transitions wisely and in the context of their faith communities. Instead of focusing exclusively on time worn thresholds such as menopause, marriage and divorce, and dying, the book contains affirming rituals on: coming to terms with the changes in one's body; learning to live with and depend on an item like a walker or a hearing aid; giving up one's driver's license; deciding how to give away one's household contents; and being orphaned. In addition to the rituals-and guidelines on how to create one's own rituals-the book contains a number of short stories, hymns, prayers, quotations, and poems to help ease women through the aging process.
