156. Finding Purpose After Loss: Why “Small Purpose” Matters in Grief
Manage episode 509079195 series 3557131
Have you ever felt pressured to find your big life purpose after loss? Like you need to radically change everything or discover one monumental calling? In this episode of Mourning Sips & Soul Shifts on Life With Grief, we’re unpacking why that’s not the only way forward.
We’ll explore:
✨ Why the idea of “purpose” can feel overwhelming after loss.
✨ The truth about small, everyday purposes and why they matter just as much (if not more) than a grand mission.
✨ How embracing small purpose can help you reconnect with yourself, rediscover joy, and create meaning in the midst of grief.
Purpose doesn’t always mean starting a movement, changing careers, or having a huge breakthrough. Sometimes, it’s about finding meaning in the small steps, simple joys, and everyday connections that keep us moving forward.
If you’ve been struggling with the pressure of “finding your purpose” in the wake of loss, this conversation will help you shift perspective and find comfort in knowing that small purpose is powerful, too.
