Hello and welcome back to Loving Later Life! Everyone listening today is in for a very special treat and her name is Jan Kreidman. 

For those who have been listening to Loving Later Life you know that the episodes will be a combination of my thoughts/stories and experiences, talking with experts, and also brave women telling their compelling stories.

Well today, I am talking with one courageous woman. I knew that her story would be an important one to share with all of you. I also knew that Jan met her husband in later life and not long after he was diagnosed with early dementia. 

What I didn’t know is about her incredible journey prior to meeting her beloved Steve. I didn’t know about her contagious outlook on life. Her courageous choices that went against the societal grain, her love for taking risks, for embracing the unknown and ability to embrace the valleys. Her skill in listening to what is right for her even when it meant zigging when she was expected to zag, and how she lives her life with a drive to thrive, feeling all the feelings and not letting anything steal her spirit. 

And then there is her love story. Jan didn’t meet Steve until she was 66. And you’ll just have to listen to know how long she had been single prior to that. You’ll also hear about their unique story of how their relationship escalated, and what has happened since they’ve been married. This is not a story that will make you sad. If anything, you just might have a more positive outlook about life’s possibilities.

Please join us. I promise you will be glad you did!!
