Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Everyone keeps telling me to move on and get over the loss, but the grief is huge and it won’t go
- It’s been long enough that I can quietly admit something in me has shifted since they died
- My memories of them and of how it happened come at me in scattered, jagged pieces with no order to them, and I keep replaying the end on a loop
- The day they died still plays in my head in jagged pieces
- The life I’d assumed I’d have is just gone, and as devastating as that is, I’m quietly starting to notice doors I never would have looked at before

- Logotherapy After A Loss
Logotherapy, developed by Viktor Frankl from his experiences in Nazi concentration camps and his pre-war existential psychiatry, holds that the primary human motivation is the will to meaning — not pleasure or power. It provides a set of techniques for finding meaning even in unavoidable suffering. The evidence base is clinical and theoretical; outcome research exists but is smaller than for CBT.
