Gray Love narrates stories about the most common themes –
searching for and (perhaps) finding love. Forty-five men and women
between ages 60 and 94 from diverse backgrounds talk about dating,
starting or ending a relationship, embracing life alone or enjoying
a partnered one. The longing for connection as old age encroaches
is palpable here, with more and more senior singles searching
online. Those who find new partners explore issues that most
relationships encounter at any age, as well as some that are unique
to elder relationships. These include having had previous partners
and a complicated and deep personal history; family and friends’
reactions to an older person’s dating; alternative models to
marriage (such as sharing space or living apart); having more than
one partner at the same time; one’s aging body, appearance, and
sexuality; and the pressure of time and the specter of illness and
death.
