The motive to create a support system extends beyond the need for social engagement and to avoid loneliness. Women, especially those without an immediate Family closeby, are at risk of isolating, becoming depressed, and spending too much time alone. Even women who have adult children nearby yearn for support, close bonds, and nurturance.
A local support system is a key component of stable Relationships and strong psychological Health. Essentially, social support involves having a network of family, friends, and a group of peers to turn in times of need.

Carol Marak, Author, Speaker, Go-to Authority on Aging Alone
After spending nearly a decade helping her elderly parents with the aging issues, Carol had a wake-up call, “Who will do for me all the things I did for my parents?” Taking note of that difficult realization, she got on the stick and created a roadmap to guide her in addressing the inevitable complexities of aging while living alone.
Carol knows what’s truly needed when a person has only herself to rely on.
She has taught hundreds of adults to think more creatively about and to take action for acquiring stronger health, a connected and supportive lifestyle, an inspiring purpose, more engagement, safe and secure finances and legal concerns—and more. Media refers to Carol Marak as the go-to authority of the fastest growing adult population—aging alone aka, solo agers.
Outside of my passion for mentoring and supporting solos, I enjoy the outdoors as an avid walker.
And most importantly, I'm thrilled when individuals begin to explore the wide-range of possibilities they have available to them to live well far beyond tomorrow!
