Finding Meaning Instead of Reasons: A Different Way to Support Those in Tough Times

I came across this article and thought it had some helpful insight that’s worth sharing. When something bad happens, many of us try to comfort others by saying, "everything happens for a reason." We mean well, but sometimes, life is just unfair, and searching for a reason can make things even harder for those who are hurting.

This article talks about how it's more helpful to focus on finding meaning in what happened and how we can move forward. It’s about supporting each other, learning to heal, and understanding that sometimes there isn’t a clear reason for why things happen. Instead of trying to explain everything, we should focus on offering real support and kindness.

It's a must-read for anyone who wants to better support others in times of hardship. Read it here.
