Did she mention a process for helping this happen? I think unless you are including the title in your drafts and revisions from the beginning, it must be very difficult to tack on 50% of the meaning after the rest of the story is finished. But honestly I wouldn't even know where to begin in terms of deciding what significance the title should carry and how to get it performing that function.

I actually would lean toward not keeping a title on deck from the beginning, because it can create a leap that you're not ready to take until your story is complete. And I think it may be more intuitive than something one schemes over. A title so often adds a poetic mystery, which is why we find them in poetry all the time. And Shakespeare.
