Abstract
This research argues that optimistic Nihilism provides a unique perspective for exploring the concept of loss and the intrinsic relationship between loss and meaning. By examining various forms of loss and their impact on human experience, the research reveals that mystical meanings can be found in the most nihilistic spaces. Creativity and making serve as a function in coping with loss in the human condition.
