Purpose, Faith, and Meaning

Rebuilding identity and belief after loss: faith, doubt, forgiveness, and pain turned toward purpose.

• I Lost My Purpose First: Grieving Before Anything New

  Before you find new purpose after your child dies by suicide, name the purpose you already lost. Being their parent was the architecture of your life.

• I Lost My Dream and Found My Destiny

  The dream was being a boy dad for a lifetime; the destiny is saving lives with what the loss taught. You grieve the dream before you carry the destiny.

• We prayed for healing until the word changed to peace

  There is an exact moment when the prayer changes from healing to peace. That turn does not end hope; it reorders everything a grieving parent carries.
