Group Chat: finding love in your golden years

'Group Chat' is when we hand over the mic to community members and let them share their stories and experiences.

This Group Chat is all about falling in love. And while that might conjure up images of young couples making wrinkle-less eyes at each – this conversation is about loving later in life. As people get older, they can lose their friends, family and partners. But some seniors still want to find connection…and love.

On this month’s Group Chat, we hear from two seniors, Laeh, 82, and Allen, 78, who’ve been dating for the past three years. They talk about the joy of finding someone, the hurdles they’ve had to overcome, and what it’s been like to feel butterflies again.
