What will be an ideal response?


Spiritual support is the support we receive from our faith, spirituality, and spiritual practices while a social convoy represents the support we receive from friends. According to research, older adults in many countries and from many different backgrounds use their religious faith and spirituality as the basis for coping, often more than they use family or friends. There is considerable evidence linking spirituality, religious-based coping, and health. Older adults who are more involved with and committed to their faith have better physical and mental health than older adults who are not religious. Social convoy is the group of people that journeys with us throughout our lives, providing support in good and bad times. For older adults, the social convoy provides a source of affirmation of who they are and what they mean to others, which leads to better mental health and well-being.
