Better After 50

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2025)

About

Unlike other blogs, posts and on-line magazines, we’re about real women sharing real stories: Talking to each other about shared experiences — not talking AT one another. We are better because we have each other; we are willing to share our experiences, our learnings, our concerns and our musings. Our site is designed to be personal and conversational — all the things you’d confess to a friend over coffee (or wine or chocolate, or…). In other words, being frank, sensitive, and seeing the humor in between the lines (and wrinkles). We are Betterafter50 because we choose to be. We’re old enough — and wise enough — to approach the challenges and promises of mid-life with positive energy. We are not in la la land here. We get it. From body issues to memory challenges, financial shifts to changing relationships, marriage re-kindlings and dissolvings, from empty beds to empty nests, to dealing with loss and the joy of new beginnings — we know the landscape is vast and the topics ripe for engagement. We also know how much easier it is when we share our thoughts and feelings with other like-minded souls. And so, here we are with all our glitches and glory.
