Adult educator, Betty Burr, shares strategies for solo-aging in the time of COVID, wildfires and political unrest. Over 20% of baby boomers fall into the solo-ager category: over 50 with no partner, or your family is geographically or emotionally remote. The current high-pressure, isolated, shelter-in-place time is an opportunity for solo-agers to identify advocates, create a support network, conduct their planning, and put affairs into order.
For more information on Burr as well as resources for solo-agers, go to TransitionSteps.com.
