LOVE AFTER LOSS

A New Chapter, A New Story

Losing the love of your life changes you in ways you never imagined.

When my husband passed away suddenly, my world shifted in an instant.

It was as if I stepped onto another timeline.

One moment, I was building a life with someone I loved deeply.

The next, I was standing alone, trying to make sense of a future I never planned for.

His sudden death catapulted me into a new identity.

I was now a widow and a single mother.

After being a wife and stay at home mom for over a decade, this was a shock to my system.

Grief brings waves of sorrow, memories that bring a smile, and a longing for the love you’ve lost.

But love, even after loss, has a way of stirring in the heart.

CREATING A NEW CHAPTER IN MY LOVE STORY

Over time, I’ve realized that loving again doesn’t mean replacing the love I’ve lost.

It means expanding my heart to hold both what was and what could be.

I’ve come to see love as a story, and while one chapter has ended, my story isn’t over.

I’m not just ready for the next chapter—I’m ready for an entirely new love story.

The kind of love I’m ready for isn’t about filling a void.

It’s about building something fresh, something rooted in who I am now—wiser, more resilient, and deeply appreciative of the gift of connection.

TO MY DEAR READERS WHO HAVE LOVED AND LOST,

If you’ve experienced loss, know that your love story doesn’t have to end.

You still have a life to continue living.

The night of my husband's funeral, he visited me in a dream to say goodbye.

In the dream, he was driving me around this historical looking town.

I felt as if I knew this town, and I recognized that a new hotel had been built.

I said, "Look! The new hotel has a spa! Can we go?

I turned to look at him, and it was in that moment I realized he was no longer in this world with me. I could see in his eyes that he knew that I knew.

He said to me, "Live your life as you like."

He let me go, and just like that I woke up.

The love you shared is a testament to what your heart is capable of, and the possibility of new love is a testament to your courage.

Loving again doesn’t erase the past; it honors it.

It shows that the love you’ve known has shaped you into someone who can love more deeply and fully in the future.

I Want To Love and Be Loved Again.

I’m ready to give my heart fully to someone who sees me for who I am and shares the same desire to build something meaningful and beautiful, full of passion.

This isn’t about "moving on."

It’s about moving forward—about opening my heart to the possibility of love in a way that feels authentic and true.

It’s okay to grieve.

It’s okay to heal.

And it’s more than okay to dream of love again.

Here’s to new beginnings and to writing love stories that honor the past while embracing the future.💗

xoxo love, Catherine
