Well, I think the mistake with that phrase is things happen.
You choose whether you find a reason to go on.
You choose whether you find a reason to learn from this.
You choose whether or not to find some meaning from this experience, not meaning in the death, but a reason to lean into life and love again.

the reason why you move forward.
You get to choose the reasons why you grow.
