You didn't expect to feel this angry. After decades of marriage, the end brings a fury that surprises you—at your spouse, at the years lost, at yourself for waiting. But anger in later life carries real risks: it can damage relationships with adult children, sabotage your financial settlement, and take a toll on your health. This book is not about suppressing that anger. It's about channelling it. Winifred Ashcombe Vellacott draws on her decades of work with older adults to show you how to recognise the physical and emotional signals of destructive anger, how to communicate without escalating conflict, and how to protect what matters most—your peace, your dignity, and your future. You will learn practical strategies for the mediation room, the family gathering, and the quiet hours alone. Whether you are still in the thick of proceedings or trying to rebuild, this guide offers a way through the fire without burning the bridges you may one day need.
