Either you or someone you know is single for the first time in decades. Add to that the number of older adults, particularly women, who have been widowed, and you are in a tsunami of people 65+ who are looking for love.
Author, journalist, and relationship expert Francine Russo knows more than most about the loss of a partner. She has been widowed twice, first when she was 46 after an 18-year marriage. A decade later, she married her second husband, who died five years later. Those losses would send most of us into a corner, sucking our thumbs. Not Francine. Sure, there were months/years of grieving and heartache. But she stands today as a seventy-seven-year-old living happily with an eighty-one-year-old man.
What did Francine learn about herself during her journey? What did she discover about what she calls the required “headwork” to be done before we can hope to find love after fifty? What are suggestions for dealing with all kinds of potential stumbling blocks like finances, adult children from a previous marriage, and differences in culture and religion?
Tune in to this episode of “Older Women & Friends.” You won’t be disappointed.
