“tolerance of ambiguity … involves the ability to recognize and manage the uncertainties in one’s own life and development. It is reflected in the awareness that life is full of uncontrollable and unpredictable events, including death and illness. At the same time, tolerance for ambiguity includes the availability of strategies to manage this uncertainty through openness to experience, basic trust, and the development of flexible solutions.”
