Guest, Morris Tait
“You can feel grief when you are separated from anything. When you are separated from a job, from a relationship or even if you lose a lot of weight. Any time you psychologically lose something…you will go through a grieving stage of some sort.”
Morris Tait is a retired educator living in Northumberland County east of Toronto. He conducted interviews with retirees regarding the psycho-social aspects of entering retired life.
