Is Your Life a Failure?

In logo therapy, we speak in this context of a suer meaning. One woman asked to imagine herself looking back on her life as if she were 80 and lying on her death bed. She said: 'Looking back as an old woman, i cannot see what all that was for' The mother of the handicappe son who tried to commit suicide with his crippled father could not do so because he liked living. For him, life had remained meaningful. Why was it not so for his mother? And how could we help her to become aware of it? Improvising i participated in the discussion and questioned another woman in the group.
