Helpful and surprisingly reassuring
I’m not divorced (yet), but I’ve been seriously thinking about it—and this book gave me a lot to think about in a good way. Starting Over After 50 doesn’t push you in any direction, but it helps you feel a little more prepared if that step is coming. It covers the emotional stuff, the financial side, and even things like rediscovering who you are when a big part of your life shifts.It made the whole idea of starting over feel less terrifying and more… possible. I appreciated the calm, understanding tone. It felt like a friend who’s been through it gently walking you through the what-ifs. If you’re in that “should I or shouldn’t I?” stage, this is a really comforting place to start.
