Awww... I hear ya hon. I ended a long-term relationship almost 2 years ago and I'm older than you. I started dating a new person I really liked 6 months ago - I was hopeful. But she needed to end it, so I'm feeling a mite bereft.

Breakups are hard and I agree that it's harder once we're past 40. But love is a mysterious thing and I don't think it cares one bit how old we are. It just comes along when it does and it can go at any moment too. There are never any guarantees.

Friends, work, chosen family, activities, self-care -- these are things we have a measure of control over. Make good choices for yourself, treat yourself very gently and kindly, reach out for support, and stay hopeful.
