Our vote is under attack. So don’t wait until Election Day. Check your registration. Know your polling place. Make a plan. VOTE EARLY. They’re counting on confusion, delays and people giving up. This is not the election to wing it!!! #GetReadyToVote

Grief has many faces. But is happiness one of them? As I mourned the loss of my boyfriend, I learned that the grief journey was not a straight line but a zigzag from one emotion to another. My latest blog explores how to cope: #grief #healthyaging #happiness www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/chan...

Is It Normal for a Grieving Person to Feel Happiness?

Personal Perspective: Happiness can be a normal part of the grief process, along with feelings of loss and sadness.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

VOTE! It's good for our democracy, and it's good for YOU. A recent study strongly suggests that older adults who vote live longer. And people of all ages benefit from better physical and mental health when they vote. My latest blog has the details: #voting #longevity #mentalhealth #health

Will Voting Lead to a Longer Life? It's Possible

Voting doesn't just benefit our democracy; it also benefits those who vote, and in some surprising ways, with special benefits for seniors.

I have long been fascinated by survey research that shows that older people are happier people. But what kind of "happy" are they? Is pleasure or life satisfaction the key to happiness as we age? My latest blog reports on the research: #happiness #healthyaging #selfhelp #pleasure #lifesatisfaction

Are Older People Really Happier Than Younger People?

Survey research and numerous studies indicate that older people are happier people. But how are they happier? Is pleasure or life satisfaction the key as we age?

#Caregiving. It takes a lot of hard work, persistence, tolerance. I know because I was the primary caregiver for my longtime partner. Surprisingly, there were many magical moments, too. I write about one such moment in my latest blog: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/chan... #selfcare

Caregiving and Self-Care Are Not Mutually Exclusive

Personal Perspective: Caring for my ill partner was not easy; taking care of myself was surprisingly challenging, too. These ideas helped sustain me.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Listen, there are a lot of influencers who get their content from legacy media and investigative journalism and then tell you not to support legacy media or investigative journalism. That’s grifting.

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.
