Divorce after tender age of 60

I’m a young 62 year old, recently retired, and trying to deal with the feelings that my 35 years of marriage is about to end. Nothing really happened except that we drifted apart and in many ways we were like strangers. The thought of divorce I knew something was different lately, and yes, he feels he has met his soul mate. She sounds like a lovely person, possibly better suited to him than me, but it still hurts like hell. In a way it is such a relief but I still can cry at the drop of a hat. Without a doubt we will remain friends, but I am ABSOLUTELY petrified at being alone and at the tender age of 62, and of course there is the problem of financing the rest of my life. We will reach an amicable arrangement about finance, but am now worried after reading some posts that if he dies before me, that I will not receive any part of his company pension after he dies. Is there life after separation at this difficult time in life? Thanks all

LOL of course there is. 62 is nothing. I meet many people of all ages that are seperated at all ages. But it is scary. Age is a number. Its what you are like as a person that is important. Your ability to survive and thrive comes from you. Not what age you are.

I have freinds of all ages that are single. Without a doubt you are worried. That goes for all of us no matter what your age is. Worry is ageless. Try not to worry. Thats all I can say. It will be OK. Trust me. I have been thru what you are about to go thru. You will come out ok. C
