[quote=Anonymous]I'm 54.  I just finished reading Vicktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" which I highly recommend.  (I read it when younger but decided to pick it up again, as it's short and good).  He was a psychiatrist who was successful in preventing teen suicides, but then he was thrown into a Nazi concentration camp. Among the work groups he was in, he observed the often surprising differences in who lived and who died--not always who you would think. He developed a theory based on these experiences and published once he got out.

You are basically asking the questions that he addresses.

I've struggled with the lack of meaning aspect on and off. I have one DC who, for reasons that are not relevant here, occupies a lot of my time.  LSS, Friday through Sunday I did not have to deal with DC, and Saturday morning I found myself in a similar funk, because there is a void and I was suddenly rudderless.  What will I do with my life when I get some extra time? Am I nothing more that Wife and Mom? (and Cook, Laundress, Dishwasher? etc)

Anyways I had bought one copy from amazon and the type was so small; it was so unfun to read.  Here is the version I recommend:
