## Resource

A woman grieving her husband’s death after a four-year cancer battle is unexpectedly reconnected with a man she once loved deeply—back when they dated for seven years before he cheated. Now, decades later, he’s reached out, apologized sincerely, and wants to rebuild their lives together. The advice columnist says the only thing standing in the way? Her own low self-esteem. She’s urged to seek therapy to build confidence before her insecurities ruin this second chance. Meanwhile, another listener—married three times, with kids and grandkids, and a long, active sex life—gets blunt advice: for the sake of everyone around her, keep quiet about her past.
