If in these moments of great despair, we start to ask the deep existential questions, what is the meaning of my life?
What will be my spiritual footprint?

So not just what is meaning and purpose, but ultimate meaning, sacred purpose.
Who am I and what is the world in the relationship to the source itself of life?
It can even be the case that depression potentiates spiritual growth.
Our brain is built so that in moments of despair, we are potentiated to widen the aperture and let in more light and start to awaken spiritually.

A spiritual response to suffering.
