‘Married for life, not for lunch’. For some this quip is a light-hearted joke about adjusting to full time life with a partner or spouse. For others though, it’s the sad reality of a relationship that didn’t survive the retirement transition. They even have a name for it: ‘grey divorce’. Without a doubt, retirement is a big transition.

Retirement gives us time to pursue activities and adventures we had to previously put off due to work commitments....

We all experience stressful situations in our lives. Personally, this year has been pretty intense for me. It can be hard knowing how to feel living a relatively normal life in Australia while COVID-19 is still taking so many lives in other countries. On top of that there's 'stuff' going on with my son and I'm heading towards another significant life transition....
