Chapter 2's Founder Nicky on BBC Morning Live

Losing a partner is one of life’s most heart-wrenching experiences. In the UK alone, over 3 million people are widowed, and the journey of moving forward can be filled with challenges, especially when it comes to dating again. Feelings of guilt, self-doubt, and the weight of past memories often create a barrier that seems insurmountable. However, with time, support, and understanding, it’s possible to find love again.

Mavis Ackerley knows this journey all too well. Drawing from her own deeply personal experience, she offers insights into the emotions and realities that widows and widowers face when they decide to open their hearts once more. 

Mavis speaks to our Founder Nicky about her experience, the reason she set up Chapter 2, and meets some of our members at our last in-person event in London.
