Going it alone

Going it alone: Advice, comments, and sympathy for women over 50 who find themselves alone

Jill Charlotte Stanford takes the devastating emotional subject of a woman finding herself alone over the age of 50—whether through death or from divorce—and offers her reader a bouquet of helpful advice, sympathy, and common sense laced with humor.

Going It Alone is a gift to women over 50 who find themselves alone.

“For several years, Jill Charlotte Stanford produced a widely-read column, “Going It Alone”, that we proudly included in our monthly packet of news and features for the over-50 market publications. She is an outstanding writer with a fresh, honest approach to women’s issues. Jill’s emphasis was always on a women’s self-esteem and the ability to rise above difficult and painful situations. I know I always anticipated reading her latest offering and learning something new or inspirational in the process. I am delighted this compilation of her columns is going to reach a much wider audience.” —Allison St. Claire, Editor/Publisher, Senior Wire News Service
