"Grief is love finding new ways to flow."
Welcome, fellow griever.
This is your Daily Nugget from me, Melissa, your host of The Leftover Pieces.
Today we will share a moment of presence, a breath of truth, and a reminder.
Let’s lean in
At first, it might feel like the love you carry has nowhere to go. But over time, you realize—it’s not gone. It’s simply seeking a new path.
"Grief is love finding new ways to flow."
Grief can feel like a dam—holding back the flood of love you still carry for them. But love is persistent. It finds cracks, trickles, streams, and eventually, whole rivers through which it can move again.
Sometimes it pours into the stories you tell, the causes you support, or the way you show up for others. Sometimes it flows quietly into the small rituals you keep—lighting a candle, wearing their favorite color, whispering their name when no one else is around.
This love is not lost. It’s transforming, adapting, and weaving itself into the life you are still living.
You don’t have to force it to find a direction. Just notice where it’s asking to go—and trust yourself to follow.
Now, take another breath.
Let this moment be enough.
Carry the piece that speaks to you.
You’re not alone in this remembering.
I’ll be here again tomorrow.
Talk soon.
