How to make meaning out of suffering

The Gray Area with Sean Illing

CHAPTER

Making Loss Matters

LZ Granderson: I think most of us are suffering right now and experiencing loss. And the book you wrote a few years back called making loss matters very much about how to face these moments in a way that isn't resignation or passive, he says. LZ: The real answer to loss is not, why did i lose? But what do i do with the fact that i lost? How do i make the loss meaningful, so it's not just a loss? So for example, the woman whose name unfortunately can't remember at the moment who lost her child to a drunk driver and start mothers against drunk drivers. She was able to make the loss more than only a loss.
