Suffering & Meaning Worksheet
Not making it beautiful, not making it nothing
Meaning-making around suffering can be premature (bypassing) or refused (nihilism). This sheet holds the middle: neither making it beautiful nor making it nothing.
The suffering I'm holding
The 'meanings' I've been offered that don't fit
What is simply true about this that no meaning changes
What, if anything, this has taught me — without redeeming the loss
What I want to do with what I've learned
