Recently I had
the pleasure of meeting a Counting the Cost subscriber at a
speaking engagement. As we talked, 'Barb' told me she really
enjoys the newsletter but sometimes feels left out because so many
of the topics discussed relate to families with young children. As
a now-single woman, she faces a new phase in life: being an
empty-nester. Unfortunately she has not found any resources that
address this phase of life from the perspective of a single
parent.
In response to
Barb's comments, I asked our readers if any of them could help
Barb. I asked, 'Do you know of any books, websites, support
groups, etc., for empty-nesters who are either divorced or
widowed? Or, if you have been in a similar situation, where did
you find support to address specific challenges you faced?'
