Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. I met my darling Tom and we married at 48 and 60 - Tom died November 14, 2004 at age 69. I have written about my own grief journey in my blog. This is an incredible journey of loss and transformation. I will return to read the whole of your blog - blessings and golden light to you. Be gentle with yourself. I will be thinking of you.

I'm mentally storing away the inspirational steps you've taken to re-connect with all that life still offers you, while still holding close to memories of Robert.<BR/><BR/>All of us face loss in our future (and/or have faced it before). Thanks for your help, in advance. I see you as a pre-need "loss mentor."

We are more open, honest and communicate better than we ever did in our past marriages. We do almost everything together. Strangers see us holding hands as we walk and think we're "cute"--no, just in love--madly in love.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-39109022185895205572009-02-04T08:27:00.000-08:002009-02-04T08:27:00.000-08:00This is such an important point, CC, and I thank y...This is such an important point, CC, and I thank you for making it. It's true that we almost never see older couples in love unless, as you say so well and ironically, "they've always known each other since they were like twelve."<BR/><BR/>That's probably so that the media can portray us as comfortably settled into our love, rather than discovering it in our later years with the giddiness and passion of adolescence coupled with the wisdom, self-knowledge, and relationship experience of more than half a century. That's an electric combination.<BR/><BR/>Readers, take a look at CC's www.onely.org, a blog about being "onely" -- solo and self-reliant -- in a couples-oriented world. <BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JoanJoan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423337694076541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-11781865057779842172009-02-04T03:01:00.000-08:002009-02-04T03:01:00.000-08:00Best of luck as you continue on your path, which t...Best of luck as you continue on your path, which thankfully includes helping people shed their stereotypes about coupling--not only about sex after sixty, but about great love after 60 too, which as you know we do *not* see portrayed enough in the popular media (yes, sometimes we see loving older couples, but they've always known each other since they were like twelve). As a result of this gap in our culture, people (especially women) are panicking if they haven't found their Great Love by the (arbitrary) age of 30, and are either dedicating their lives to finding that someone, or worse, settling. <BR/>--CC at OnelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
