RE-ENGAGING WITH LIFE?
It's doubly difficult for the retired person to get a fresh start on life when his
or her spouse dies. Without companionship or an occupation to concentrate
on, retirees may feel depressed or useless.
The key to that problem, say two Boston University sociologists, is twofold:
to love and to work.
The sociologists, Ruth Jacobs and Barbara H. Vinick, studied hundreds of
people over age 65 who have gone back to work and who have remarried.
They found that re -marriage is more socially acceptable now than it used to
be. The retirees they interviewed also said the way to meet people is to be-
come involved in a variety of volunteer, social, and paid work projects.
With inflation overtaking private pension benefits, taking on a job is doubly
rewarding. Jacobs and Vinick found that many retirees found part-time work
in stores, supermarkets and local governments. Volunteers are always need-
ed in dozens of helping organizations, including those geared to aiding sen-
ior citizens.
We can refer retirees to organizations that can help them re-engage with life.
