27 June 2019 Discussion: Engaging ageing—an open conversation for women

June 3rd, 2019 | Events, News, Older People and Caregiving

We all age. So who says we have to do it alone?

Ageing can be physically, financially and psychologically tumultuous. While some of us age with families, others age on our own—and the experience can be isolating, as friends drift away and our bodies grow frailer.

With the social stigma surrounding ageing, we may sometimes feel afraid to express our worries about the process: about retiring, grappling with physical changes, navigating new relationships with family and friends.

Welcome to Engaging Ageing, a safe and open space to voice your personal struggles, fears and surprises. Through large- and small-group discussions, you’ll connect with women in the same boat as you—including some of AWARE’s most venerable leading ladies, experts on ageing healthily and actively.

All women, single or married, aged 45 years and above, are encouraged to join us. Younger women who have worries about ageing are welcome as well. Enjoy refreshments and meet new friends over an evening at the AWARE Centre.

Old age and isolation do not have to be synonymous. Let’s look ageing straight in the eyes and face our future together.

P.S. Have a personal ageing-related experience you’d like to share? Please write in to us before the event to tell us! We may use it to start the discussion. If you would prefer us to share it with the group anonymously, just let us know and we will not identify you. Email Preethi at projects@aware.org.sg
