Resilience is the ability to bounce back from challenges and setbacks and adapt to and overcome difficult situations, while maintaining psychological well-being. It’s not a trait that people are born with, but rather a skill that can be developed and practiced. This quality becomes increasingly important as people are Aging, facing inevitable changes and potential losses. Our experts in this area of the site explore the topic as Baby Boomers age, our ability to bounce back and adapt to life’s challenges becomes more critical than ever.

We had previously remodeled our bathroom ten years ago and completely redid the plumbing. I had drawn up the plans. I knew there were no …
