Sharon and Karen are twin 65-year-old sisters who were born and raised in Connecticut. Sharon has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a result of a decades-long smoking habit, and she is married to Paul. Together, Sharon and Paul have a 35- year-old unmarried son who lives in California. Karen and her husband, Joe, work full-time and have three children with whom they are close-a 36-year-old married daughter with 8-year-old twin girls, a 32- year-old divorced son with a 2-year-old daughter, and a single 28-year-old daughter who has gone back to college and lives with them, along with her 4-year-old son. A few months ago, Sharon and Paul retired and moved to Florida. They talked to Karen and Joe about moving south with them, but they decided not to. Today, Sharon and Paul are enjoying their new life in Florida, and are making the most of the warm weather and new friendships they have developed. The move has been beneficial for Sharon’s health, even though she is still limited in what she can physically do. Karen and Joe are happy that they decided not to retire yet, and enjoy filling their days with productive activity alongside coworkers who are also friends. Although they miss one another, Karen and Sharon are both happy with the decisions they made. Answer the following questions: 1. Explain why you think Sharon decided to move south to Florida. 2. What are some reasons Karen decided to stay in Connecticut? 3. Do you think Karen and Sharon are aging successfully? Why or why not?
