Abstract
Reminiscence has been shown to be a therapeutic activity that helps people to find meaning in their memories. Through reminiscence on past life events, the older person is able to recapture both the joy and the pain of a life story that he or she has uniquely authored. By using the nursing process, the nurse may address more effectively the painful side of reminiscence and, in so doing, help others to come to terms with unresolved life conflicts.Entities:
