In this video, I’m talking honestly about three things no one really tells women about living alone after 60: • loneliness in a crowd • the strange paradox of loving your life while still grieving what’s missing • why loneliness is not something to be ashamed of If you’re in this season too, I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not pitiful, you are not failing, and you are certainly not alone.
