Question: 1 / 400

What denotes a solitary survivor in the family life cycle?

A couple with young children

A single parent with children

An individual living alone possibly after loss

A solitary survivor in the family life cycle refers to an individual who is living alone, often as a result of significant life changes such as the loss of a spouse or partner. This situation typically arises after bereavement, where the individual may be navigating grief while adjusting to a new life that lacks the partnership previously shared. This concept captures the unique emotional and social dynamics faced by someone who has experienced such a loss, placing them in a distinct category within the family life cycle.

Other options represent different family structures at various stages of the family life cycle, such as couples with children or newly married couples, but do not encapsulate the experience of solitude and adjustment post-loss that defines a solitary survivor.
