How It Works

Meaning making is a process we go through when, after change, loss, or hardship, we have to find a new way to make sense of things. When we make meaning, we are trying to discover or build significance and purpose for our role in the world. Often, we have to go through this because our old ways of making sense have fractured or simply aren’t working anymore.

For these reasons, meaning making is incredibly hard. Some people find it disorienting or even scary. It can feel as if we are tossed up into the air with no certain landing or as if the very ground beneath us is shifting.

Usually, meaning-making involves some kind of grief.

What is grief? Grief is the process of learning to live again after being forced to accept the unacceptable. Often when people talk about grief, they talk about the “five stages” (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), as if this is a linear process. The five stages of grief is a model developed by psychologists Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and David Kessler.[11] These experts carefully explain that grief phases are not a straight line. Instead, grief often looks a lot more like a giant, frustrating squiggle. Going through it takes a lot of courage.
