Meaning Reconstruction
Captions available
The idea
Meaning reconstruction treats grief as a narrative whose goal is meaning and purpose, revising one's worldview much as Piaget described assimilation and accommodation.
In practice
A bereaved mother founding a scholarship in her son's name, finding purpose in the loss.
Where people slip
Rebuilding social networks is part of reconstruction too; no grief theory is meant as a prescription.
