Download or read book Suddenly Single After 50 written by Barbara Ballinger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stressful, protracted divorce. A difficult, painful death of a beloved husband. And suddenly, after age 50, you’re on your own again. Your children have moved out, your parents are aging fast or deceased, your friends’ lives continue onward, seemingly unchanged. Being suddenly single after age 50 can be terrifying, but eventually it can also be liberating. It can be fraught with worry and decisions you’re unprepared initially to make, but it can also be a time to reevaluate, reestablish, and reinvent. It can be financially and emotionally unstable at times, but it can be the start of a new chapter, or the discovery of someone you didn’t know you were, or could become, after the grief of a loss so difficult. Long-time friends and authors Barbara Ballinger and Margaret Crane have a lot in common. Both lived in the same city for years. Both are writers. Both married their husbands right out of college. Both are mothers of grown children who have left home. And both had aging parents when these difficult journeys began. Both found themselves alone, husbands lost to divorce and death, two separate situations that were equally traumatic— for Barbara, a divorce that took four years to end, and for Margaret, a five-year, gut-wrenching siege of myriad cancers that ended in death. Barbara and Margaret struggled but discovered not only that their new lives were, indeed, worth living, but that the insight gleaned from their experiences could help other people in similar straits. The result is Suddenly Single After 50, an honest and riveting, yet funny and poignant guide that provides advice for those who find themselves divorced, widowed, or otherwise suddenly single just about the time they start getting those AARP cards in the mail and while many of their friends are gleefully discussing retirement plans and toasting milestone wedding anniversaries. Suddenly Single After 50 is told with authenticity, wit, and compassion. They discuss living alone, attending social events alone, eating by themselves, sleeping alone, walking and traveling alone, then how they also came to feel they were not alone, not really, with loyal friends and family. They share how their once right-sized houses suddenly felt empty, too big, and too full of stuff that no longer made sense. They write about all the legal and accounting woes that befell them. And they tell readers what it’s like to be over 50 and dating again—after decades out of that scene, which had changed in unfathomable yet often hilarious ways. Suddenly Single After 50 addresses what life is really like when it’s suddenly shaped as single. It helps readers understand the grief, frustration, and sadness alongside reawakening into the world. Anyone who finds themselves suddenly single in middle age and beyond--or knows someone who is--will find in these pages both advice and reflection, support, and a way forward.
Download or read book The 60 Something Crisis written by Barbara L. Pagano and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-08-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circumvent the tired and conventional approaches of finding purpose, passion, or happiness to discover a path of fulfillment after 60 by pursuing desires, mastering risk-taking, and expanding horizons with confidence. The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to. The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement (a 2023 Nautilus Book Award winner) is the first book to circumvent the tired and conventional approaches of finding purpose, passion, or happiness, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after 60. It presents a clear, practical framework through four portals—geography of place, yield, kinship, and freedom—to navigate and support future well-being and happiness. Readers will learn how to pursue desires, not roadmaps, to increase self-confidence and master risk-taking, and will discover the power and potential of investing in themselves at this time of life. Barbara L. Pagano provides the foundation for taking on or taking back late-stage growth and shifts the conversation from “What’s next?” to “What do I need to know, what do I need to do now, and how soon can I get started?” This book is more than happy talk. Pre-retirees on the brink of a major life transition or retirees who want more from life will find themselves pulled toward a higher target of well-being that endures. Mature adults, now novices in an unfamiliar, uncharted landscape, will welcome a smart, well-written, practical, and poignant guide to hustle them forward, anchored in an award-winning author’s deeply personal experience, well-researched content, and over 200 interviews with retirees and pre-retires. The 60-Something Crisis offers a powerful message for the last third of life.

Download or read book 250 Marvelous Thoughts for Women Dating After 60 written by Thomasina Shealey and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-04-08 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single women 60+ have different fears than single men of the same age, when it comes to finding themselves now dating and experiencing new relationships. Single men at this age seem more fragile and sensitive. When starting to date at 60+, there are moments of fear that a woman will laugh at their clumsiness, awkwardness or make them feel small, inferior or insecure. Single women dating at this age have more basic concerns. We're more afraid a man will pass gas on us during lovemaking and totally ruin the course of the evening. A gentle reminder. This is my sole opinion based on personal experience. (smile)Dating after 60. After 60 what? 60 years of children, husbands, careers? 60 years of joy, sorrow, loneliness? A random, happenstance meeting in November 2017, while interviewing French language instructors abroad who could commit to assisting me with online conversational French lessons, prompted me to write this book. I was seeking a virtual pen pal and French tutor. He, apparently, was seeking a life mate, under the guise of offering French lessons. And he's not even French! He's an ex-pat Netherlander who is fluent in French! To make a short story, shorter, I fell in love with this aforementioned Dutchman a.k.a. French tutor who lives in France. We have a cross-Atlantic relationship. I live in the U.S. He lives in the E.U. It's been interesting. And precisely what I need for this time in my life. Women Dating After 60+. I am in the throws of precisely this moment of life...in real-time. And there are lots of us. Some of us have eased into the dating and relationship game and are thriving. Others of us have not been as successful, and have either given up on trying or opted to no longer remain open to the possibilities. When you suddenly (or not so suddenly) find yourself single and alone in your 60+ years time of life, whether it be by death of a spouse/significant other, or divorce of a spouse/significant other, or perhaps never married/selectively single; it can be unnerving or empowering depending on how you're wired. It's not an easy time. Just the thought of now dating at this juncture of our lives, is enough to make our stomachs churn. At 60+ the frustrations of loving, dating and learning a new human being...a grown, been there before human being, is a monumental challenge. By this age, everyone's locked into his or her own world. The patterns are not easily disrupted or merged. By the time you reach our age, 60+, we have decided how far to the left or to the right we are willing to lean. A small decision now requires a formal tribunal. At this point in our lives most of us just want to be fluid with our emotions, intuitive, sincere, creative, and passionate. We want to live a life that is beautiful in its simplicity, with marginal uncertainty and absolutely, no drama. Striving daily, for mostly sunshine and blue skies. Dating when you're 60+ is no walk in the park. In our upper ages (I love this term), our lovely minds can occasionally get the best of us. Surrounding ourselves with family, friends and partners with good intentions will yield our highest survival rate. And when we choose to put ourselves out there and embrace the idea of romance again, our watermark should be a high one. Not an impossible one. Simply a high one with a little extra nurturing and attention focused on our heart. I wrote this tiny book of warm encouragement for all of my single, 60+, female friends, family and readers who may have accidently or intentionally, put the brakes on romance. Divorced. Widowed. Selectively Single. We are in this exquisitely amazing time of our life together. Embrace it! Young love and life expectations can be blind and impulsive. Seasoned love and life expectations is realistic and wears bifocals. Our life belongs to us...we get to do it the way we want to do it. #HappyDating60+
Download or read book Retiring Solo written by Lori Martinek and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans are finding themselves on their own as they head toward retirement. Some are solo by circumstances, others by choice. Baby Boomers all of them, they are driving new trends in housing, work, caretaking and traveling, while also redefining what it means to be part of a community. These partner-less pioneers are rewriting the book on retirement as they learn what it takes to successfully retire solo and remain happy, healthy and independent in the coming years. Being solo is no longer just a stop on the way to a happy ending. For an increasing number of people, it's a lifestyle choice and the destination. Solo is a natural, dynamic state that we experience as we cycle in and out of life stages, living arrangements and relationships. The new reality is that most of us will spend more time solo than in a married or committed relationship over the course of our lifetime. And: It is almost certain that we will be solo during the later years of our lives. Nearly 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day - a reality that began in 2010 and is expected to continue through 2029. Few feel financially prepared for retirement. Those who are married are likely counting on a spouse's income to help save for retirement and to provide a second Social Security check in the future. Statistics, however, indicate that most married Boomers are destined to become solo again, whether through death or divorce. In short, there are no guarantees in life, whether you are solo, married or somewhere in between. It is likely that you will have to continue working, start a business or come up with another source of income to supplement whatever Social Security benefits you may earn. Have you thought about how you will spend your time in retirement, how or where you may want to live, how you will stay active and healthy in the years ahead, or who will be there for you as you grow older? You should. It's never too late, or too soon, to develop a plan to protect your independence and make sure that your coming years are happy, healthy and brightened by a sense of community. Retiring Solo will show you how to begin. --------------- Author Lori Martinek is a successful serial entrepreneur and an advisor and mentor to business owners. As a small business owner for nearly 30 years, Lori knew that she needed a plan to secure her future and protect her independence as she grew older. As a vibrant single woman with a passion for outdoor activities and social causes, Lori also wanted to protect her health and her mobility, stay active and engaged in the world around her, create a sense of community that would provide social opportunities and support, and find a way to 'live alone, but together' with other active adults. Her journey to create her personal retirement rebalancing plan also produced this book.
Download or read book Grown Up Marriage written by Judith Viorst and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although marriage is for grown-ups, very few of us are grown up when we marry. Here, the bestselling author of Suddenly Sixty and Necessary Losses presents her life-affirming perspective on the joys, heartaches, difficulties, and possibilities of a grown-up marriage -- and no, that's not an oxymoron! Featuring interviews with married women and men, the findings of couples therapists, the truths offered by literature and movies, and a bemused exploration of her own marriage, Judith Viorst illuminates the issues couples struggle with from "I do" through "till death do us part." Examining marital rivalry, marital manners, marital sex (extramarital, too), marital fighting and apologies, what kids do for (and to) marriage, and the boredom and bliss of everyday married life, Viorst leaves no marital stone unturned. From the early years when we wonder "Who is this person?" and "What am I doing here?" to the realities of divorce, remarriage, and growing older (and old) together, Viorst offers insights and advice with honesty, humanity, and humor -- all the while recognizing how tough it is to be married and, when it works, how very precious it can be.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face-not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the who did it? isn't nearly as important as the why?

This is a story of mid-life longings and discoveries, of lessons learned in the search for home and a new sense of purpose, and the bittersweet intensity of life with teenagers—holding on, letting go. Poised on the threshold between family life as she's always known it and her older son's departure for college, Kenison is surprised to find that the times she treasures most are the ordinary, unremarkable moments of everyday life, the very moments that she once took for granted, or rushed right through without noticing at all.
