Psychosocial resilience surrounding age-typical losses among older adults in Sweden: group-based trajectories over a 25-year-period
Several interesting patterns of long-term change in life satisfaction were found in response to loss. Contrasting earlier findings, only about one-third of the sample was categorized as resilient. The two resilient trajectories were characterized by either quick adaptation or a slower adaptive process. Increasing or maintaining social networks, particularly friendships, after an age-typical loss may promote resilience.
