Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals who try but fail to find meaning in their loss may experience prolonged distress because they have put effort into searching and still cannot make sense of their loss. This can lead to feelings of hopelessness and frustration. In contrast, individuals who do not initiate a search for meaning may not be as deeply affected. Those who find meaning without the benefit of religion, or who begin with no religious faith may still experience distress, but this is not necessarily related to their search for meaning.
