My mother is 64. She was always thin and a couple of years ago she lost a lot of weight for some unknown reason. Her doctor says she’s healthy, but she sees a skeleton in the mirror. She is retired and she told me that she is scared by seeing herself getting older in the past couple of years, fearing the coming loss of physical and mental abilities.
I tried to comfort her but there’s not much I can do.
However I think there might be books about coming to terms with getting old? Do you have any suggestions?

You could try *The Thursday Murder Club* series. It’s about a group of pensioners trying to solve a mysterious murder. It isn’t directly about aging, but certainly shows characters who are still pulling it off despite their age!
