Viktor Frankl wrote the famous book, Man's Search for Meaning. In the book, he details his survival in a Nazi concentration camp. One particular part that stuck with me was where he was trying to offer hope to his comrades in the concentration camp, when many were understandably losing hope having to endure the horrific living conditions. He said " Someone looks down on each of us in difficult hours, (somebody alive or deceased) and he would not expect us to disappoint him/her. I think that was my number one reason for not staying stuck in the misery of grief. If I was not going to get better for myself, I would get better for my daughter who was looking down on me. The best way for me to honor my love for her was to be the very best version of myself that I could be.
