The love you lost still lives.

🖤 Grief Is Love Finding Its Way Home

“Grief is the echo of love, guiding you back to yourself.”

One definition of grief I’ve heard is,
“Grief is love with nowhere to go.”

Something about that never sat right with me.
So, I started thinking about it.

Follow me down my rabbit hole.

💫 Love Is Energy in Motion

Love is an emotion, and emotions are simply energy in motion.

They need expression.
They’ll either be expressed in a constructive or destructive way.

We can use them to build ourselves up…
or break ourselves down.

When our loved one was alive, that love flowed directly to them.
It had direction, an external force where we could focus our love.

When they died, that external force disappeared.

From that perspective,
grief is love with nowhere to go.

🌿 Turning Love Inward

But what if grief’s purpose is to show us where that love should go now?

What if the pathway of grief is to turn that love inward,
to find that same unconditional love for ourselves?

What if loving another person unconditionally
was simply training ground
to learn how to love ourselves more fully?

❤️ The Practice

Loving myself for exactly who I am.
Loving both the parts I admire and the parts I detest.
Loving myself when I’m kind,
and having grace for myself when I’m not.

Loving myself when I’m happy,
and still loving myself when I’m miserable.

For the past 26 years, I’ve been on that journey,
often without realizing it.

⚡ My Sister, Lauren

The relationship I had with my sister was… tumultuous.

We loved each other deeply.
And yes, she was a pain in my a@#.

She challenged me on every level.
She was stubborn, hard-headed, loyal, protective, emotional to the extremes,
strong and powerful.

She was a force to be reckoned with.

If she was happy, she’d make sure everyone around her was happy.
If she was miserable… watch out.

While she was alive, I loved her for all of it.
Sometimes it wasn’t easy,
but that’s what unconditional love means,
loving regardless of the conditions.

When she passed, the things that used to annoy me
became the things I now remember fondly.

And I knew I needed to find a constructive use
for the love I still felt.

✨ Coming Home

So, I turned it inward.

I made the commitment not to let Lauren’s car accident kill me too.

I decided that to truly live,
I needed to become the best version of myself possible.

And that meant turning that love inward,
learning to love myself unconditionally.

That doesn’t mean stopping growth or avoiding change.
Quite the opposite.

It means noticing where I fall short, taking responsibility,
and choosing to evolve, from a place of love, not lack.

🌞 The Truth

Everything you need
already lives within you.

Go with power,

If you’re ready to begin turning that love inward,

Try this Simple Practice:

Loving Yourself

Take a quiet moment.
Grab a piece of paper and a pen.

Write down all the attributes of your loved one,
the things you loved and appreciated most about them.
Their courage. Their humor. Their generosity.
Their strength. Their tenderness. Their fire.

Now look at that list.

Those same qualities live in you.
They always have.

Because what we love and admire in someone else
is often a reflection of what we love —
or are learning to love — in ourselves.

Sit with that for a moment.
Let it land.

That’s how love finds its way back home.
