  • Hey friends, it's Rosie here.

  • Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Friday.

  • A few nights ago, I was sitting on our front porch with Tori,

  • looking at the sky, thinking about everything that's happened.

  • And I asked him, do you think there's any reason for this?

  • Any meaning to all of this loss?

  • And he sat there for a long time before saying, I don't know.

  • We've spent this week talking about loss,

  • about the shock of it, the grief, the slow process of rebuilding.

  • But today, I want to talk about something that comes much later.

  • The question that lingers after the dust settles.

  • How do we find meaning in whatever we've been through?

  • After he said that, it really stuck with me.

  • I began to think how meaning sometimes involves us making a choice.

  • Meaning isn't something we find.

  • It's something we make, right?

  • We can go 30 days without food, three days without water,

  • and about 30 seconds before attaching meaning to something.

  • It's just how we're wired.

  • We take the broken pieces, the things we never asked for, and we decide what to do with them.
