Welcome, Tender hearts of Insight Timer. Most grief begins with love. We don't often think of it this way. We focus on the loss, The absence, The ache. But underneath every feeling of grief. Is something that mattered deeply. Love plants seeds in our lives. Memories. Connections. Shared experiences. And when loss happens, Those seeds don't disappear. They remain in the heart. Sometimes they grow into longing. Sometimes into sadness. Sometimes into warmth when a memory gently returns. Grief is not here to take love away. It is here because love was there. So today, I invite you to bring to mind someone or something that you've lost. Gently without forcing. Notice what comes. A memory, A feeling. A moment. And instead of pushing it away, Just hold it. Like you would hold something small and meaningful in your hand. Love doesn't end. It changes how it lives inside you. And even now. It is still growing in its own way. For now. Let that be enough.
