Description
Aurora Sherman and Kira Birditt frame a set of talks on inner strengths in older adults in a 2023 summary. Social ties and a sense of control may soften the harm of hard life events in old age. The talks span moves to senior housing, loss of a spouse, dementia care, and self-view in women.
One talk found ties help less at the start of a housing move, then help more later. Wider ties guarded widows against low mood and health loss, and bright acts eased daily strain for carers. A spouse with strong support from children also shielded a partner's life joy.
