Inhaltsangabe
"I had a happy menopause in my fifties, and now in my sixties, I feel like life is fading. This whole aging thing is so lonely." This book is a record of the author's life events, big and small, as she enters her sixties, and she recounts the births, deaths and aging she has experienced in a breezy, diary-like tone. Her mother was hospitalized for four years, and when she was sorting out her mother's belongings, she lamented that "sending parents to their deaths is as much a part of life as puberty," realizing that her mother had only a few things, and wishing that she, too, could die without leaving a single thing behind her. As her husband aged like a blistering storm, from the time he was admitted to the emergency room to his death, the author took care of her husband, dealt with all kinds of chores, and had to take care of her puppy while writing; the book also records the boundless loneliness of old age that she felt after her husband's death, as well as the inconvenience of living alone, and moreover, the freedom of living one's life to the fullest. Instead of giving up on herself because of old age, the author tries to cultivate her hobbies, such as dancing Zumba, raising dogs, cooking, and writing, so that she can live a full and interesting life.
