Ageing in terms of illness, dying and death
Abstract
The article presents old age as a phase of an older person’s life in which his/her social roles, especially family roles, are subject to change. Despite these changes, the family is still thought to be a fundamental plane of one’s emotional functioning, and it is where intergenerational transmission occurs. However, there are such events in the older person’s life like illness, suffering, and death that abolish intergenerational divisions, becoming a sphere of standard searching for the best ways of going through them.
