Great TED Talk on how we need to change societal norms about how dying is handled by health services. https://t.co/GNByQ6ET76 Obviously very important given #COVID19

[Positive Ageing @PositiveAgeing1]

This promises to be such an important and life affirming event. A real opportunity to challenge our fears and taboos about this existential issue. So looking forward to attending many of the sessions. Well done @GoodGriefFest

Excellent short clip from @goodgrieftrust of Greg Wise challenging us to think and talk about ‘what a good death is’.
https://t.co/zyYfqBv8dc Very thought provoking and helpful. Facing our fear of death is a vital step towards #ageing positively.

[Positive Ageing @PositiveAgeing1]

Such a wise saying. Encapsulates the essence of positive ageing. Quality of life is more important than length.

Great piece by @AlzResearchUK emphasising that #dementia is NOT an inevitable part of #ageing https://t.co/uUQ8cjuF8V It is so important to get this message across. Negative attitudes to ageing undermine health and wellbeing.

@DeborahKlee Hi Deborah - I am very well thanks, despite these difficult times. Hope you are staying safe. Cheers. Guy

In my blog this week I reveal something of my wilder years and explain why we remember more from our late teens and early 20s than any other time. see:https://t.co/ORwJnCWN57

Interesting research raising the prospect that cognitive and physical performance in older people has improved today’s older people compared to those 30yrs ago. https://t.co/db7FA3Er0x. https://t.co/SciQPy65lg

🗣️@KalpaKharicha @EndLonelinessUK:

"Exploring the #PsychologyOfLoneliness is particularly important now as people are easing back into using services. Talking and active listening skills are crucial to help people in opening up."

Good point well made by @MervChangeAGEnt

Yesterday @AWOCUK webinar I thought abt the brilliant Report of @EndLonelinessUK on the #PsychologyofLoneliness. Why? Because narratives around #awoc often ignore why there is such a reluctance to confront the myths & stereotypes of childlessness & loss. This applies to funders

Nice blog about good news in later life https://t.co/8tV2Hh2Fx0

[Positive Ageing @PositiveAgeing1]

This looks like an interesting resource on creative #ageing.

Lifelong learning also means we need to learn to grow old positively. Positive beliefs can affect our physical wellbeing & how long we live. Check out the 10 steps from @PositiveAgeing1 @actionhappiness #SmartAgeing

Loss of ‘will to live’, very worrying to hear about in care homes. https://t.co/9bXsHKv2xL
Psychgological impact of #COVID19 on later life is in need of much better attention. Research shows how underming of ‘will to live’ shortens life. Link to #ageism. Thoughts affect health

[Positive Ageing @PositiveAgeing1]

Point well made about compassionate #ageism by @csfoot. We need to resist all the divisive pressures that are appearing with #Covid.
