READERS DIGEST - Nicky Wake, inspired by her own experiences as a widow and the challenges of online dating, founded Chapter 2, a dating app specifically for widows and widowers. The app focuses on creating a community and a safe space for those who have lost their partners. It provides various features, including forums, blog posts, and monthly meet-ups, to support users not just in dating but also in coping with widowhood. Chapter 2's user base is diverse, with an average age of 45+, and the oldest member being 96. The app also offers a sister site, Widow's Fire, catering to those seeking less committed, more casual relationships. The app is free to join, with premium features available for a fee, and it has successfully facilitated relationships, emphasizing moving forward rather than moving on after loss.
