“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” - Jane Howard
Marta worked at a bank for 20 years. During her career she rarely socialized with co-workers nor did she join any professional groups. She devoted her time to her husband and family, ensuring that their needs were met. At age 49 her husband unexpectedly asked for a divorce. Now at age 50 she finds herself alone a lot. She is single in a small town with only one friend. During her marriage, she relied on her family as her network. Now she seldom sees her sisters and her three grown children live on their own.
