"Who am I"?

Often I heard and even spoke to elderly persons who fsaid, "Who am I?" If you further ask him/her to elaborate this sentence, he/she will tell you a lots about it!
"Who am I?" Often this connated to negative feelings/thoughts of being "OLD" and "USELESS".

Mary Jane was one of my many elderly individuals who journeyed with me in my program "Aging Gracefully" in Rochester, NY, she is in her ninetees now.
Gof bless you Mary Jane.

We need to assure and affirm our elderly individuals that they are still special and can contribute to the society. Are we able to convince our Borneon seniors and elderly individual to be more positive in seeing this Slogan "Aging Gracefully?"
