Mastering Senior Life: Thriving and Surviving 

By Joyce K. Porter

“Mastering Senior Life: Thriving and Surviving” is both a memoir and an easy-to-read reference book. Most of us enter our senior years with little or no guidance to the many new challenges this part of our lives will present. Ms. Porter gives tips to help with both the opportunities and the challenges involved. As a thriving senior herself, she shares her findings about discounts, travel, and the many creative opportunities we can enjoy. She also gives guidance as to the steps we must take as we look ahead and protect ourselves and our heirs.
The second section of the book utilizes Ms. Porter’s experiences with her late husband’s many illnesses and what she learned the hard way, to ease the way for others to deal with illnesses, the medical system and loss. No matter what your future brings you will find yourself referring to this book for guidance.
