Throughout his long and consequential public life, former President Joe Biden has overcome a series of personal hardships and professional hurdles.

He struggled since childhood with a stutter, lost his wife and 13-month-old daughter in a car crash in 1972, suffered two life-threatening brain aneurysms in the 1980s, lost his oldest son to brain cancer in 2015, and watched another son and daughter battle addiction.
