Recent research shows that we all cope with grief differently, so one approach that might be good for one person may not be helpful to someone else. The good news is that today, psychologists can recommend various ways to cope with grief and loss.

One of them suggests that if you face a “crisis of meaning,” when after a loss it looks like your whole world no longer makes sense, you can try to focus on reconstructing its meaning to move forward in a healthy way. For that, you should make an important change in your life — something that feels as if you are growing or improving. It might help your loss feel like a meaningful catalyst.
