Viktor Frankl observed that human beings can endure almost anything if they can find meaning in it — and that the capacity to find meaning is, in some sense, the last freedom. The application of meaning-making to grief is not the search for a reason the loss happened but the reconstruction of a world in which the loss has a place and the life ahead is worth living. This domain examines the process with care, drawing on Frankl, the trauma literature, and the wisdom traditions.
Each step builds on the last.
