INTERVIEW: ADJUSTING TO A LATE LIFE DISABILITY

 ADJUSTING TO LIFE AFTER ACQUIRING A DISABILITY CAN BE AN EMOTIONALLY
DIFFICULT TIME, INDIVIDUALS WILL EXPERIENCE GRIEF AND LOSS AND MAY STRUGGLE
WITH ACCEPTING THEIR NEW LIFE. WHILE YOU CAN’T GO BACK IN TIME TO A

HEALTHIER YOU OR WISH AWAY YOUR LIMITATIONS, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WAY YOU
THINK ABOUT AND COPE WITH YOUR DISABILITY. YOU ARE STILL IN CONTROL OF YOUR
LIFE AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR INDEPENDENCE, SENSE OF
EMPOWERMENT, AND OUTLOOK.
