In experiencing death we sometimes must carry on without closure. This may also arise in the coping with difficult relationships whether they are still active on earth or whether the relationship has ended. We sometimes find a way to reset our mindset, to go on with the living. In this myth Orpheus must do just that ~ transfer tragedy into capability ~ after twice losing the love of his life, Eurydice. While Orpheus could drown in his tears as some of the love ballads tell, instead he chooses to keep singing, keep strumming his lyre as a way of handling life without his love. This choice mythically bestows upon him the honor of being the creator of the love song, the love poem, the love letter. And so he finds his resolution and also his growing edge in the midst, and also in the aftermath of challenge.
