Abstract

Treća životna dob često je obilježena brojnim promjenama koje uključuju
odlazak u mirovinu, više slobodnog vremena, češća obolijevanja, smrt supružnika
i slično. Sve te promjene mogu pozitivno ili negativno djelovati na osobu. Način
na koji će neka osobadoživjeti sebe u trećoj životnoj dobi ovisi o puno čimbenika.
Prije svega, važno je da se osoba tijekom života priprema za umirovljenje te da
navedeno razdoblje doživi kao još jedan životni izazov, a ne kao „čekanje smrti“.
Isto tako, osobe u starijoj životnoj dobi doživjet će mnoge gubitke, razočarenja i
rastanke. Najčešći gubici vezani su uz bliske osobe, supružnike. Važnu ulogu u
svemu ima podrška obitelji i razvijena socijalna mreža. Isto tako, ukoliko ta
neformalna podrška nije dovoljna, bitno je potražiti i stručnu pomoć. Čovjek nije
sam sebi otok te bi ga na taj način trebalo doživjeti i u trećoj životnoj dobi. Ovaj
pregledni rad usmjeren je na osobe treće životne dobi, njihovu prilagodbu na
umirovljenički života i sve ostale promijene koje nastupaju u toj dobi, sa
posebnim naglaskom na gubitke i proces tugovanja uz psihosocijalnu podršku.

Abstract (english)

Golden years are often accompanied by numerous changes, which include
retirement, more free time, frequent illness, death of a spouse and more. All these
changes can have beneficial or adverse effects on an individual. The way that a
person fulfills itself during their golden years depends on many factors. First of
all, it is important for a person to prepare for a retirement during their lifetime,
and to embrace the golden years as yet another life challenge, rather than to see
this life period as a period of "waiting for death". Moreover, older people will
experience many losses, disappointments and goodbyes. Most commonly, they will
lose their loved ones, their spouses. The support of their families and a developed
social network play a big role. Also, if this informal support does not suffice, it is
important to seek professional help. No man is an island, especially in his golden
years. This review paper focuses on people in their golden years, their adjustment
to retirement years and other changes that take place during that particular age,
with a special ephasis on losing their loved ones and the grieving process with
psychosocial support.
