Falling in love after 60 can be one of the most meaningful experiences of later life. It can fill you with energy you thought you’d left behind decades ago, awaken a sense of companionship, and renew your hope for the years ahead. But it can also bring challenges that very few people talk about openly.
I realized just how complex this stage of romance can be when a 67-year-old woman sat across from me and said quietly, “I think I’m falling in love… and somehow it feels like everything I’ve built is slipping out of my hands.”
