Episode 18: The Love That Still Lives Here
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
February can bring up complicated emotions for widows — especially as love is publicly framed through romance, couple-hood, and celebration. In this episode, Lauren offers a spacious, honest conversation about the kind of love that doesn’t disappear after loss — the love that remains, changes shape, and continues to live in the body, memory, and nervous system.
Together, we explore how grief is not only pain, but love with nowhere obvious to go — and how moving forward doesn’t require letting go of love, but learning how to walk with it differently.
This episode is for you if:
- Valentine’s Day feels heavy, hollow, or disorienting
- You’ve wondered where your love goes after your partner dies
- You feel pressure to “move on” or quiet your grief
- You’re learning how to live alongside love in a new form
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why love doesn’t end when a life ends
- How grief lives in the body and nervous system
- The myth that healing requires letting go of love
- Rediscovering and recreating love after loss
- Why love exists far beyond romance
- Letting love be exactly what it is right now
If you’re looking for a place to process these questions in community with others who understand, Lauren’s group program Re-Imagine begins in mid-March.
You can learn more and join the interest list at laurenlentz.com under the Re-Imagine tab.
However love is showing up for you this month — it belongs.
And so do you. 💛
