As we age, cope with chronic illnesses or disabilities, or lose loved ones, we have to learn to live differently. We have to give up not only some roles and activities, but also parts of our identity--our sense of self--that no longer serve us. In this four-week discussion group, we will share readings, exercises and our own experiences to explore ways of living more fully with these limits and losses.

Patience Stoddard lives in Alstead with her husband Jim Gruber. She is a Unitarian Universalist minister and former therapist, as well as a hospice and hospital chaplain. She enjoys creating opportunities for people to share their stories, inspire and support one another.
