ABSTRACT

Success in family life comes not from avoiding stressful events and problems, but in coping with them effectively. Author Unknown

Challenges such as death in a family, loss of a home, or a broken arm can create stress in individuals and also in family processes. In some situations the stress can be severe, disabling, and enormously difficult. In other situations, the stress is more temporary, fleeting, and easy to cope with. Sometimes, the behavior of professionals increases the family stress.
