Old age is not for the fainthearted. Loss and suffering are too common. But the human organism is amazingly resilient. As we retain body temperature, blood glucose, and other indices over a wide range of conditions, so we also have an inbuilt capacity to respond and adapt. Psychological wounds (eg, loss of function or loved ones) can be met with compensation and the aid of others. Reinvigoration is the norm.
