309 Jane Seskin: The Three A’s of Aging—Acknowledge, Accommodate, Accept
- 309 Jane Seskin: The Three A’s of Aging—Acknowledge, Accommodate, Accept Gail Zelitzky and Catherine Marienau 26:37
Jane Seskin, a licensed clinical social worker, is a prolific poet who, at age 80,
published a collection of 89 poems in the book OLDER WISER SHORTER: The
Truth and Humor of Life After 65. With humor and insight, Jane observes
how she is learning to acknowledge, accommodate, and accept the
vulnerabilities and new-found joys of aging. Early in her career as a therapist
for crime victims, Jane witnessed people’s resilience to survive. As a therapist
and writer, she advocates “talking to each other rather than being alone with
our scary thoughts.” For older women, one area of interest might be
discussions on health fantasies and fears. Jane is at work on a new book
about aging, focused on Taking Inventory: what’s past, dealing with the
present, and planning for the future. She also explores “what brings one
comfort when the sky is falling.”
