Hi Nichole,

That’s an awful lot of people to lose in the same year.  I’m not surprised that you went to pieces and are looking for meaning and purpose to your life.  Learn to calm your mind in whatever way you can – music, exercise routines, walks in nature and so on.  If you find it helpful, connect with bereavement groups usually run by counselors and gain support in that way.  Give yourself time and continue being positive and taking those small steps to achieve goals.  Consider how much you have to offer others and what your purpose might be rather than what the purpose of life is.
