Question

All families face challenges: an unexpected death, the divorce, job loss, retirement. Families adopt ways of coping to build resiliency. Identify three challenges and recommend ways to boost resiliency and why you would make that recommendation

Answer 1

We all learn something about ourselves in difficult times. For some, the lesson is reassuring: Even in the worst-case scenario -- whether it's losing a job in hard economic times, mourning the death of a loved one, or coping with a debilitating illness -- certain people manage to maintain their emotional balance. Instead of slipping into despair, they remain optimistic and focused enough to look for another job, cope with loss or illness, and generally keep going with their lives.
