Episode #335: What's a Gray Divorce with Sandra Beck and Dr Carol Hughes

Join Sandra Beck and Linda Franklin of Powered Up Talk Radio for a compelling discussion with Dr. Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenberger, authors of Home Will Never Be the Same Again, as they explore the growing phenomenon of Gray Divorce. With more long-term marriages ending later in life, this trend is gaining attention—especially as high-profile cases come to light. But while much of the focus is on the divorcing couple, what about the impact on their adult children? Hughes and Fredenberger, both seasoned therapists, shed light on the often-overlooked emotional and psychological effects of parental divorce on adult children. In this episode, they discuss the unexpected challenges these individuals face, from shifts in family dynamics and feelings of loss to navigating divided loyalties and redefining relationships with aging parents. They also provide valuable insights and coping strategies for families experiencing this transition. Whether you’re going through a Gray Divorce, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the topic, this conversation offers thought-provoking perspectives and expert guidance on healing and moving forward.
