Longer lifespans are propelling more older singles to seek and form new love relationships. Whether they’re widowed, divorced or have never been married, women and men in their 60s, 70s and older often have many years ahead of them. What’s more, because of a surge of “gray divorces,” there’s a larger pool of older singles. But jumping back into dating requires not just risk taking but a willingness to tackle difficult questions – from whether to blend households and families to how to deal with finances. This course will explore how late love poses different challenges than relationships formed when young, with examples of a variety of older couples. Carol is an independent journalist and author who has served in leadership roles at The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News and Forbes. Her work focused on stories about business leaders, diversity, gender, and most recently about how longer lifespans are changing careers and lifestyles. Currently her work appears in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Next Avenue and other publications. Adjunct professor, creative nonfiction, NYU’s Carter Institute of Journalism. Previously visiting scholar at Stanford Univ’s Stanford Center on Longevity, reporting and writing about the longevity economy; editor at large at Bloomberg; founder, editorial director of Forbes.
