Grief, Loss, and Life Transitions: Navigating Change in Later Life

Later life brings repeated experiences of loss and transition that require adaptation and emotional processing. Death of spouses, friends, and peers; loss of physical capacity; transitions from work and independence; and confrontation with one's own mortality all characterize aging. Understanding how to navigate these experiences, when grief becomes complicated, and what support is available helps seniors move through difficult times without becoming stuck in unprocessed loss.
