After losing her love, an aging researcher is left alone with her aching loneliness and turns to the power of science to find meaning in her loneliness and the remaining years of her life. The author guides the reader through the lessons of his own doctoral research in psychology, after outlining the theoretical background of aging research and the mechanisms of action of age-based prejudice (ageism). Finally, from the perspective of a helping professional, it also provides practical guidance for the dilemmas of the second half of our lives, while it brings itself and the reader through a reflective and self-reflective process to the reconciliation offered by inner freedom. During this inner journey, we also get an idea of ​​an equal love relationship through which, even if we lose it, we rise. >I was Kata Tisza's doctoral supervisor at the university. I proofread his previous books, so I got to know the story of his destructive relationship and his struggle and recovery. As a writer, he did not want to deal with his doctoral topic, aging research, he felt that presenting the struggles of his life was a more urgent task. But Kata now turned back to her research - exemplifying the circularity of time - which she transformed into personal stories in the same way as her other experiences. This is how he shaped the heroine of his book, who is simultaneously working on her grief over the loss of her love, her aging, and the summarization and conclusion of her research work. Grief and aging are seemingly similar: they are both about loss. But in Kata's book, through the struggle and the desire for freedom, both acquire new meanings. The heroine learns that her grief, aging, and research work are all about how we can reach survival, freedom, and reconciliation. As social researchers, we also need this so that we can get rid of false social expectations and stereotypes and show our readers the way to find an authentic existence. dr. Professor József Rácz Kata Tisza graduated from the ELTE PPK's master's program in intercultural psychology in 2012, and then won a scholarship for her then innovative aging research to the ELTE PPK's Doctoral School of Psychology. He has been engaged in trauma-processing literary therapy for nearly two decades, creating his own genres on the border between fiction and scientific knowledge dissemination, and runs an individual coaching practice, mainly for clients struggling with identity crises and life situation crises. After the four-volume series presented and treated by Scolar Publishing House on emotional abuse (Those who don't cry properly, The best place in town is you, Now. You will be a survivor, not a victim, To love blue), this is the fifth volume: aging and finding inner freedom , an organic continuation of his previous work.
