When couples seek meaning in loss through conflicting frameworks

My wife and I lost our first pregnancy and we're both committed to finding meaning in this experience rather than just surviving it, but she's drawn to spiritual frameworks about souls choosing lessons and I find meaning through connecting with other couples who've been through this, and our different approaches are starting to feel incompatible.
