My book: “Love Has No Expiry Date: Self-Discovery, Mature-Age Dating, and the Courage to Begin Again”


The book grew out of real life. After losing my husband, learning how to stand on my own again, and slowly opening the door to companionship and my heart to love again, I discovered how much strength and hope we can find in our later years.

This book is my way of sharing what I learned along the way — the confusing parts, the tender parts, the moments that taught me who I am, and the small steps that helped me trust life again.

It’s for anyone rebuilding after heartbreak or loss, anyone wondering how to meet people at this stage of life, and anyone who wants a connection that feels genuine and kind.

I wrote it to offer comfort, clarity, and company on a path many of us walk in silence.
If my story helps even one person feel understood, the book has done its job.

You can find the book on Amazon stores worldwide in Kindle, softcover, and hardcover formats.

What Readers Are Saying

“It felt as if the author was speaking directly to those who’ve known both love and loss. The writing is clear, down-to-earth, and easy to relate to. I often paused just to think, and it helped me see relationships and life from a calmer, wiser place.”

“This book offers hope. It reminds us that life in mature age isn’t over and that it can still bring unexpected, positive surprises.”

Translated from French

“The author writes with compassion and wit — like a friend who’s walked through fire, learned from it, and can now laugh about the smoke. Her reflections on love, companionship, and self-discovery made me smile more than once, especially when she describes the small, ordinary moments that make life rich again.”

“A rare find — a book that truly understands love and growing older. I’m a 76-year-old man, single for nearly three decades, and this book helped me understand myself in ways I hadn’t expected. It gave me a sense of a second chance.”

“I highly recommend this book it has been written with great thought and compassion. There is lots of information about different sites you can look up to help you with your journey.”

“It turns out it’s about us too — men who’ve lived, loved, lost, and are still figuring things out. It felt different: realistic, warm, no fluff. No cheesy advice, just thoughtful writing from someone who’s lived real life. It reminded me that love in mature age isn’t about fireworks — it’s about companionship, care, humour, and being understood even when you forget why you walked into the kitchen.”

“This book really hit home. It’s honest, easy to read, and full of understanding about what it’s like to start again later in life. I enjoyed it very much and learned quite a lot from it. A wonderful read.”

“I just finished your book and wanted to thank you. Your words feel sincere and melodic, and you speak to the questions many of us hold inside. The way you wrote about life brought gentle tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing so much care and understanding.”
