Deals with planning for, and transitions to retirement and post retirement. Case studies allow readers to learn from others' experiences. Shows successful retirement is a new beginning, an adventure and growth period. Includes interviews with forty retired or pre retirement women plus author's retirement experience. Self-Help Exercises give tools for emotional and psychological preparation

A section of self-help exercises helps ease the transition to retirement by asking women to
• Reflect on important education, family, health and spiritual issues
• Plan for a sudden abundance of available hours
• Engage in creative life mapping
• Gain a new perspective on work-life balance
• Develop a clearer sense of self
• Reclaim neglected dreams and release illusory ones
• Begin a new life

Women Facing Retirement guides the reader through a metaphoric hall of mirrors resplendent with the images of women in the potentially shattering transition from work to retirement. In an intimate and authentic voice, the author gently describes the "empty desk syndrome" and what it can mean to walk unwittingly into unexamined post-career territory. The voices of other women add to the mix, their stories artfully linked, their experiences an indispensable map. Some do well while others flounder, but every candid narrative conveys invaluable lessons.
