Aging and Geriatric Issues

Redmond Christian Counseling

Help for the Aging and Their Loved Ones

So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me.– Psalm 71:18

When retirement looms on the horizon, many anticipate a slower schedule, leisure activities, being grandparents, and even serving the church or community in various ways. As we grow older, however, our bodies begin to break down and we are faced with an increasing number of illnesses and health issues that are directly related to the aging process. Our peers, too, begin to pass into the next world and we come face-to-face with our own mortality. Redmond Christian Counseling can help. Our counselors are ready and able to offer biblical help for the aging and their loved ones to navigate the complexities of growing older.

For faith-based answers to questions of aging, give us a call at 425-250-6282 or visit our counselors directory.
