A resilience-oriented approach with loss (a) contextualizes the distress; (b) attends to the challenges, suffering, and struggles of families, and (c) strengthens relational processes that support coping, adaptation, and growth. Family resilience is fostered by shared beliefs (1) to make meaning of the crisis and challenges; (2) to (re)gain a positive, hopeful outlook that supports active agency, and (3) for transcendence: to rise above suffering and hardship through larger values, spiritual beliefs and practices, and experiencing transformations in new priorities, a sense of purpose, and deeper bonds. In families, meaning-making processes involve shared attempts to make sense of the loss, put it in perspective to make it more bearable, and, over time, integrate it into personal and relational life passage (Nadeau, 2008) .	./cache/cord-257813-2ij3fkrh.txt	./txt/cord-257813-2ij3fkrh.txt
