How do we find the “why” in our lives? It’s a tough question on our best days. But what about after major life changes, like a death, a divorce, a job loss, or in Laura’s case this week: a charging moose?
This Week’s Listener Question:
What’s my purpose now that my soul has been shattered? How do I go on after losing a child?
Small Group Questions:
1. What are your first reactions after hearing Christine spent a weekend with grieving mothers and Laura was charged by a moose?
2. Have you ever had a near death experience or a terrifying moment that helped clarify your purpose or clearly define the next step you needed to take?
3. When you think about your WHY beyond the roles you play such as mother, wife, caretaker, worker…, what comes to mind?
4. Why is finding meaning after a devastating event in life so important to our spiritual and mental well-being? Have you or someone you know found their life’s purpose after enduring a hardship?
