Description
Life is not always easy. Sometimes it puts obstacles in our way that we may stumble over. These can be difficult or sad situations, small problems, or major blows of fate—such as the death of a loved one. Resilience means not giving up and making it through these crises well. It means getting back up when you have fallen. And often, you emerge stronger than before.
