Choosing Gratitude After Grief, Finding Purpose as We Age | Lessons From Living with Chris Moore

In our second segment of our conversation with Chris Moore, we explore grief, resilience, and the mindset shifts that help us keep living with purpose after devastating loss. Chris shares the story of losing his wife Barbara at 55, the fog that followed, and the conscious decision to “start living again.” He explains how reframing—choosing gratitude over despair—can transform suffering, why community and shared experience matter, and how deep sorrow can expand our capacity for joy. We also discuss: Practical ways to walk through grief (not around it) Building resilience, empathy, and meaning in later life Connection across generations and making younger friends Creating a life you don’t want to retire from Purpose, mentorship, and shifting goals as abilities change Lifelong learning for brain health (languages, instruments) The spiritual dimension of aging well and longevity Valuing your wisdom—others need what comes naturally to you Connect with Chris: Age Out Loud (book and community) and Alma Travel with Soul.
