When Loss Reshapes Love: Holding On While Letting Go

I invite you to pause. Breathe. Let everything else wait.

This moment is yours. Let’s begin.

Loss doesn’t just change you—it changes the space between you and the people you love.

Maybe you’re grieving at different speeds. Maybe love feels distant. Maybe the person who once felt like home suddenly feels like a stranger. And that can be just as painful as the loss itself.

Place your hand over your heart. Feel its steady beat. You are still here. Love is still here.

Breathe in—acknowledge the ache.
Breathe out—release the need to have all the answers.

Now, repeat to yourself:
We don’t have to grieve the same way to stay connected.
Love stretches. Even now, it can hold me.
I can soften without losing myself.

If love feels different, that doesn’t mean it’s gone. It means it’s finding a new shape.

Breathe in—let love meet you where you are.
Breathe out—let go of what keeps you stuck.

When you’re ready, open your eyes. Love may not look the same, but it’s still here. And so are you.
