Abstract

This article presents the results of a qualitative research study on intergenerational messages of Polish female seniors. Letters from seniors to the younger generation were investigated. In their narratives, the seniors focused a lot on self-reflection about death and dying—this is due to the theme which was to inspire the letters: My life—my death. The messages exposed an affirmative attitude toward the old age, the significance of faith and religion along with the simultaneous awareness of the fragility of life, and the necessity to face one’s own finiteness. The seniors also pointed out to family and relationships with their loved ones as the key value.
