E68: Ask Shelby: How Do I Find Meaning and Purpose Again After Loss? A Tool to Help You Begin
Loss can shake your entire sense of meaning and purpose—especially when the identity, role, or "why" that used to get you up in the morning morning is gone. Today I'm answering a griever's question about finding purpose again after loss and sharing a simple tool for experimenting with new meaning without any pressure to get it right.
You'll learn:
Why loss changes your relationship with meaning and purpose, not just your daily life
A helpful "maybe and perhaps" tool for experimenting with new meanings without committing to them
Why meaning after loss can be good, bad, or neutral—and why all three are normal
Why believing you manifested your loss isn't true, and where that belief comes from
Why no one else, no matter how well-meaning, can make meaning for you
