How to do it, one needs to take the following steps (a) to search reasons and concentrate on various options, discern the acute one (b) to accept that stress is essential part of life and that answer(s) do/does exist, such a thinking and conviction will help to tide over the stress and if it will happen, it will not have much effect (c) stress is easier to get over in young age but as one starts getting old and reaches in real old age and after retirement, it gets harder to avoid and get over but if one has learnt in young age to shove off stress, that experience will help not to get overburdened with stress (d) in old age when wife or husband dies or someone in siblings etc., stress shall become acute mostly, in such a situation, if one believes that it is a circle of life and that each one is to die some earlier and some later, he/she will be able to cope with and adjust better. However to overcome stress in old age or in loss of some near and dear one, economic means and freedom to choose friends and company of one's choice, do surely help to get over the stress and take such happenings as normal ones. Nevertheless women take less stress while men fall pray to stress comparatively more and longer.
