Old age -- later life -- golden years -- post-retirement -- third age - the third act - silver horizons - terms abound trying to describe the later decades of life. I asked a friend/colleague Gail Hinchliffe if she would share her journey of navigating the transition into these later years. She shares her personal journey into a stage that she calls Elderhood.
