Gray Divorce: What is it and how it impacts the whole family


Listen Later

Turns out the 7 year itch isn't where it happens... Linda Hershman joins me to talk about Gray Divorce, or divorce over 50. This was a fascinating topic that really hit home for me given how many friends and family members have been impacted by later in life divorces.

Linda gives us her soulful and research backed views on:

  • What is gray divorce... and why is it on the rise?
  • Why adult children are impacted
  • How adult children of divorce can navigate this new family dynamic
  • What she has learned as a family therapist over her years working with families
  • Linda Hershman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and approved supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. Her book, "Gray Divorce: Everything You Need to Know About Later-Life Breakups," is the first comprehensive, culturally-informed treatment of the topic.

    Linda presents at professional conferences nationally and internationally on gray divorce, adult children of divorce, and related topics.
    On a personal note, Linda loves to travel and possesses mad knitting skills. She lives with her husband of 27 years in Suburban Philadelphia.
