by Tammy Ruggles

... This isn't a book to make you feel down, it's actually very uplifting and validating. Besides the positive side, Cooper also delves into the harder parts of getting older--rites of passage we all go through if we're fortunate enough to live that long, like losing loved ones, how to deal with changes in body and mind, and illness, as well as what to do about the practical things in life, like preparations, paperwork, and important decisions. Women can be a tremendous support system for one another. Women, We're Only Old Once by Bertha D. Cooper should be your go-to resource for yourself or a friend if you want to make the most out of aging and make peace with it.

Women, We're Only Old Once by Bertha D Cooper examines and offers solutions for different issues that women face during their old age. It does not avoid difficult topics including illnesses such as dementia or beauty concerns that women consider. It focuses on the facts in each section but its messages also remain encouraging. The discussions show that aging is a stage of life that can be navigated successfully and that can be fulfilling. I loved that its pages are dotted with numerous remarks, perspectives, and life stories from women from different cultural, religious, and professional backgrounds. Their contributions are insightful and enlightening. Cooper’s experience is also evident throughout the book. Women, We're Only Old Once is an important work that every woman, regardless of their age, will find useful. The book achieves its purpose of informing and encouraging the reader.

I have a one-word description after reading Women, We’re Only Old Once! by Bertha D. Cooper…Wowza! Bertha knows what she’s talking about here, being a woman in her 70's herself. As I read, I pictured Bertha sitting beside me, bestowing her wisdom, practical advice, and research. I felt she truly cared about me and my health, in body and mind. The day after I finished the book, I drove straight to the drugstore and purchased a B12 supplement. Bertha’s advice isn’t only on health issues, she also touches on sexuality, mental fitness, spirituality, losses, etc. Her words are memorable: “Embrace growing old,” “Aging is not a disease,” “It’s never too late!” Women, We’re Only Old Once! is one book every woman should have on her bookshelf.
