Most of them live alone, without a spouse, a partner, or adult children to help them manage as they grow older.Now, there are several Facebook groups for solo agers, as well as in-person groups springing up around the country, conferences and webinars, a national clearinghouse of resources, and an expanding array of books on the topic.
Preparing in isolation for the future can be daunting. "If solo agers don't feel they have people to talk to as they craft their aging plan, they often will skip the whole process," said Gerhardt, who endorses a group planning model for these seniors. Yet another is to foster a sense of community that promotes a "can do" attitude. As Nissen said repeatedly when I took the course in September and October, "Solo aging doesn't mean aging alone."
Kromrey, who lives alone in Tampa, Florida, knows he's fortunate to be healthy, financially stable, and very close with his adult daughter, who will be his health care and legal decision-maker should he become incapacitated. Kromrey, widowed nine years ago, also has three sons — two in South Carolina and one in West Palm Beach, Florida.
