The Many Faces of Resilience
Let us not grow weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest. –Galatians 6:9
Some resilience isn’t built in a moment. It’s built over decades of care, adaptation, and love.
Denita always wanted children. Her first husband didn’t. That difference eventually led to divorce. Later, she remarried and had a daughter with Down syndrome. From the beginning, Denita poured herself into therapies, support systems, and advocacy. Day after day. Year after year.
Her daughter now thrives in a group home. She’s independent in her own way, and Denita is proud. Recently, Denita’s husband passed away. Another chapter of loss. Another shift in the rhythm of her life.
She’s grieving, yes. But also continuing. Her life has been one long act of love—and now, of renewal.
Resilience is devotion.
It’s the grace to keep loving, even as life changes shape.
