Coping with the “Meaning” of Grief

It struck me today how widows and widows are often searching for meaning to their new lives, how they suffer because of that search for real “meaning”…….and I suddenly realised the irony!
To be mean, is to be awful…..when we are searching for that meaning we can often be cruel to our own heart, mind and soul. We take them on a dark path, often depressive of nature in the hope that in the darkest moment we will 
find something bright…how ironic that the word mean has two such different definitions and yet so both true during the grief cycle.
Maybe we should think of it as in search for loving……maybe that way we can take our mind, body and soul on a happier journey of personal discovery
