Could someone explain what this means?
I'm trying to read this article and it says

何が正解でどうすることで道は開けるのかを考えれば考えるほど、自分の存在意義を見失い葛藤したはずだ。

I understand the first half being, but I'm not sure I understand the second half. The 見失い葛藤したはずだ part is throwing me off. I thought it meant something like

The more she thought about what was right or what to do in order to open the way forward, the more it seemed like she lost sight of the meaning of her own existence.

Can someone correct or explain this to me please?

そうですかね。
説明してくれてありがとう！

Answer

自分の存在意義を見失い葛藤したはずだ means she must have lost sight of meaning of her own existence and been frustrated. 
になるかと思います。
見失って、葛藤したということなので :D
