Responses to Betty's programs

Betty is such an inspiration that she takes away the fear of growing old. She's living proof that life doesn't have to end after losing a partner. She's doing what she loves to do and what she does best: writing and sharing her experience with others. Thank you, Betty!

She creates empathy, the right blend of humor and serious emotion, and she has the ability to laugh at herself.

Betty's talk connected with many age groups. I'm turning 40 this year and what she offers someone like me is hope. I fear losing my special someone and am not sure how I would go on, but to hear how she got through all the stages of grief was inspirational.

I truly enjoyed Betty Auchard's presentation called "My Second Act." What she has achieved, with her delightful sense of humor and talent for writing and speaking, will convey to others what they too can do to find a new way of life.

Betty, you're a "pro," and you gave such a joyful presentation that everyone was smiling or laughing.

Merci beaucoup, Betty. Thank you for a splendid talk yesterday! I loved every moment of it. There are more ladies I wish I had been able to bring yesterday, so I'll watch for another time when we can catch you in this area. I'm sure the word will get around about what an inspiration you are.

I really enjoyed Betty's program. She certainly has come out of widowhood a happy and complete person. There's hope. I think I should join a gym. It took me down and raised me up all within forty minutes.
