Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When life slows down, many think the story is coming to an end. The children have grown up, work has lost its importance, the body has its limits, and absences begin to hurt more. But what if old age weren't an ending, but a different chapter, full of meaning, tenderness, and hope In WHEN LIFE CROSSES ITS ARMS - Growing Old Without Disappearing: Tenderness, Affection, and Time in Old Age, Marcos invites the reader to see this stage of life with new eyes. Through sensitive and intimate chronicles, he speaks of the changing body, of friendships that survive the decades, of loves that mature in care and companionship, of the encounter between generations (baby boomers, Generation Z, and Alpha), of grief and saudade, and of the small, everyday adventures of those who continue to choose to live, even if the pace is slower. As an evangelical Christian, the author shows that old age only achieves its full meaning when God occupies the center of life. More than a reckoning with memories, this stage of life becomes a time to deepen faith, heal wounds, bless children and grandchildren, and prepare the heart for the encounter with the Father. This book is for those who have already passed 60, 70, or 80 years of age, but also for children and grandchildren who wish to better understand older people and learn from their journey. It is a book for those who fear aging, for those who are already in that stage of life, and for those who wish to reach it with dignity, purpose, and peace. As you close these pages, you may discover that when life crosses its arms, it is not a sign of the end, but an invitation to sit, take a deep breath, and, with God at the center, give thanks for the miracle of still being here: with time to love, forgive, reconcile, and truly enjoy the days that remain. …
