We arrive in the middle of the movie and we leave in the middle of the movie. - David Kessler

Here are some thoughts that may guide you in understanding meaning: Meaning is relative and personal Meaning takes time. You may not find it until months or even years after loss Meaning doesn't require understanding. It's not necessary to understand why someone died in order to find meaning Even when you do find meaning, you won't feel it was worth the cost of what you lost Your loss is not a test, a lesson, something to handle, a gift, or a blessing. Loss is simply what happens to you in life. Meaning is what you make happen Only you can find your own meaning Meaningful connections will heal painful memories

Ultimately, meaning comes through finding a way to sustain your love for the person after their death while you're moving forward with your life.

Your loss is not a test, a lesson, something to handle, a gift, or a blessing. Loss is simply what happens to you in life. Meaning is what you make happen.
