To love someone so deeply and lose them physically to death is one of life’s hardest experiences. What is important for the world to understand is that when we are asked to “move on” from grieving, we are also being asked to move on and leave the love. The two are forever interconnected.
I have never met a griever willing to leave love behind, nor should they. Let people have their grief. Let people hold onto their love. The sacredness of the love shared between two humans is profound. We share it forever. 🩵
Be extra gentle today, friends. Your grief and love are held softly here. Even in the silence of their physical absence, love continues to breathe through memory, through presence, and through the enduring connection that death can never take away.

There is not a one size fits all for when we start to go through the belongings of our loved ones after they die. Too much judgment is placed on grievers.

Mother’s Day weekend has arrived in the United States. Whether this is your first Mother’s Day without someone you love or your twentieth, these days can feel especially tender.
I invite you to write a letter to your mother, grandmother, child, grandchild or whoever it is you are missing extra today. Read it out loud. Say their names. Remind them that your love is forever. If it feels comforting, ask them to come closer and send a sign of how near they still are.
Nothing in this lifetime prepares us for the physical goodbye. Yet love has a beautiful way of continuing on. The people we love become woven into us through memories, stories, laughter, and the quiet ways they shape our hearts.
With time, many grieving hearts discover this gentle truth: although we can no longer hold them physically, love still finds ways to reach us. In a random story shared , a feeling of closeness, an eagle overhead, or a song arriving at the right moment, love remains. Forever connected, carried within us, and part of the heartbeat of our lives. I will always believe, wherever we are, they are♥️

What do grievers need? They need us to come close, to sit beside them, and to stay. So often, people arrive with kind intentions in the early weeks after a death, but their presence fades too quickly. The calls slow, the messages stop, and the quiet that follows can feel like another loss.
Grief does not need to be fixed. It needs to be witnessed. It needs space to be spoken and a heart willing to listen. Stay longer than feels necessary. Return weeks, months, and years down the road. Say their person’s name. Share a memory. Let them know their love is still seen and remembered.
Instead of saying “you’ve got this,” gently remind them, “I’ve got you.” That steady presence is what helps carry them through.

This week held two meaningful experiences for me, in different cities yet deeply connected.
In both spaces, what stood out most was the love people carry for their person. It continues, even after death, as they find ways to keep that love story going.
Grateful for the warm welcome at Trinity Lutheran Church and the courage of those who showed up to share their grief.
Thank you to @vertinfamilyfuneralhomes for sponsoring the child loss event at KOK funeral home. We laughed, we cried, and honored those we miss most.
Love does not simply survive loss. It transforms and continues to live on in those who carry it forward. Thank you to both audiences for showing up in the most beautiful and vulnerable ways. I hold you close.

The love we share with our people who die has its own heartbeat. A living rhythm of connection that time cannot touch, that absence cannot silence.
This love endures. It breathes within us. Forever.

I just spent time with the most beautiful group during our first CWK virtual gathering, this evening. This intimate circle, joining from across the United States and Canada, brought such a genuine and heartfelt presence.
Even through a screen, you could feel the depth of love each person carries for the ones they miss. It was a powerful reminder that while someone’s physical presence may be gone, the love we have for them does not end. It continues, often finding its way back to us through quiet signs and moments that gently reconnect us.
Thank you to each person who showed up with such openness and courage. I am humbled often by grievers. Grief becomes something we carry day by day, in our own time and in our own way. While the sharpness of the pain may soften, our love only grows deeper. Our love lives in the present. Call them closer ❤️

When we lose someone who lives deeply within our heart, the loss is not only in that moment. It unfolds over time… in milestones, in ordinary days, and in the quiet moments we wish we could share.
I look to the sky when I miss them most. Somehow, it reflects my grief… the vastness, the heaviness, the quiet beauty. It reminds me there is space for all of it.
You do not have to carry this alone. Even one person who can witness your story can make grief feel more survivable.
As you move forward, learning to live alongside what feels different and what feels missing, know that you are held here.
Love is the reason it hurts this deeply. And that same love does not leave.
Thank you for being part of this CWK community. It is an honor to walk alongside you.
Love lives on. Forever.💙

Even though our loved ones are no longer physically here, the connection remains. They find new ways to reach us.
In the quiet moments and in the unexpected, in the signs we almost overlook, they are here. A song, a feeling, a coin or feather, a sudden breeze, or even the gentle thought of them that makes us pause… and feel the connection.
Call them closer. Pay attention. Love like this does not disappear… it finds new ways to be seen and felt.

There is a quiet kind of wisdom that lives at the end of life.
I have sat beside hundreds of people in their final days, and what they have taught me is this: love and connections matters most. Not perfection. Not productivity. Not the things we spend so much time worrying about.
They speak of relationships, of moments shared, of words said and unsaid. They remind me how tender life really is, how quickly it moves, and how deeply we are meant to feel it.
They have taught me to slow down. To say what matters. To hold close what is sacred. To live in a way that feels aligned with love.
Life is fleeting, but it is also full of opportunity to show up, to connect, to be present.
I carry their lessons with me… with deep gratitude for the privilege of walking beside them. Forever changed.
Grief does not ask us to move on, it asks us to carry what/who we love in a different way.
In the beginning, the weight of it can feel overwhelming, as if everything familiar has shifted. Even with time, there are moments when the reality of their absence still catches us off guard.
What changes is not the love or the missing, but the way we learn to hold it. Gently, we begin to carry both the ache and the love together, making space for both to exist.
There is no timeline for this kind of healing, only your own pace in healing.
We do not stop loving or missing them. We carry them forward in who we are and in the way we continue to love them, forever.
Deep peace to you ❤️
