Scenario

When siblings find purpose in different places after losing a parent

My sister and I both started volunteering at different nonprofits after losing Mom, and we keep talking about how meaningful it feels, but I think we're also avoiding talking about how we can't seem to find meaning in spending time with each other anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're discovering that meaning-making after loss can paradoxically drive people apart when each person's new purpose doesn't include the other.
