SEARCHING FOR THE MEANING OF MEANING: GRIEF THERAPY AND THE PROCESS OF RECONSTRUCTION (2000, background): “Although it is important to acknowledge that some meanings of loss are indeed discovered as well as invented (Attig, 2000 ), an emphasis on pre-existing truths obscures the delicate processes by which fresh meanings are typically constructed.”
