Purpose in Life

[Angrboda]

Doesn't mean there isn't any satisfaction to be found in serving others; that was a big part of the satisfaction in teaching.  It does inject a satisfying purpose to the day to day.  Now I don't have that but I don't feel empty or rudderless because of that.

That's an important point. Helping others can add immensely to one's feeling of fulfillment about their life. I would highly recommend taking up some volunteer work. It is truly a life changing experience. You could volunteer to do something involving cancer patients and survivors and thus learn from other people who are going through the same type of ordeal.

I don't know, but do you go to support groups or have a therapist? Those can help, too.
