Many of us have particular things in our lives that hold special meaning for us, such as photographs, paintings, old letters, books, furniture, jewelry, or clothing. These items often correspond to pivotal memories and can be central to our sense of self and our life narratives, especially as we age. Things That Matter provides valuable insight into the intricate interplay between mementos and stories in the lives of most people. The book explores the significance of cherished objects within the life stories of nine participants in a qualitative study of the links between reminiscence and resilience in later life. The researchers who conducted the study come from various fields, including gerontology, social work, ministry, nursing, literature, and education. The book details how life stories can be fraught with a wide range of insights and questions as people embark on the process of life review prompted by the challenges and changes of aging. Shedding light on the complex emotional, psychological, and spiritual findings of the study, Things That Matter ultimately reveals the intricacy of personal narrative and the incredible ways in which things and stories are interwoven in our lives over time.
