To whom do you turn for support and resources as a woman over forty? Do you confide in family members, neighbors, co-workers, or high school friends? Perhaps the answer is no one.<\/p>\n

As midlifers, we experience daily challenges, particularly to our situations and ages. The sandwich generation, as we are sometimes called, is pulled in multiple directions as we caretake our parents and children, our jobs and romances, our changing bodies, and plummeting hormones. We yearn for emotional support and comradery to maintain a sense of balance and clarity.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, with the rise of social media, we no longer rely on proximity to establish connections to people with whom we can relate. Facebook groups are a prime example of a tool that can help us find quality connections. According to\u00a0the Pew Research Center,<\/a>\u00a0only eighteen percent of Facebook users are women ages forty-five to sixty-four. However, there is no shortage of groups dedicated to midlifers and boomers. In fact, the task of narrowing down hundreds or thousands of social groups is daunting.<\/p>\n

But fear not my friend. I have narrowed the choices by eliminating groups of less than two hundred people and those that allow men to join. Sorry, fellas! My list of 25 fantastic Facebook groups for midlifers and boomers is for women only. Of course, the exceptions are groups created for singles and finding romance.<\/p>\n

Support of All Sort<\/h3>\n
