Cathy Ronalds, To 100 and beyond (Doco/Photojournalism (2018))

I’ve been documenting my long living Nanna for the past few years. She turned 100 last August. She has long outlived my Poppa, her immediate family and most of her friends. She is tired of living and spends her lonely days with a relatively healthy body in a modern aged care facility. A devout religious woman, she shared with me recently that she prays each night the Lord will take her to heaven. Her body and modern medicine seem to betray her wishes.
