"Grief is the price of love." 

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.
Lean in with me ---

If we never loved deeply, we’d never hurt this much.

 "Grief is the price of love." 

Grief is not a punishment. It’s the echo of the love that filled your life—and the love that still lives inside you.
The ache you feel is proof that what you had was real, beautiful, and worth every moment.
If the price of that love is this grief, it’s a price we pay willingly—because to have lived without it would have been an even greater loss.
We can’t separate love and grief. They are two sides of the same coin, and both are sacred.

 Let your grief remind you: you loved deeply, and that love will always be yours.

 Breathe deeply.
 You are allowed to set down the weight, even for just a moment.
 What you know in your bones is unshakable.
 The journey you’re on is sacred, even when it feels lonely.
 I’ll meet you here again tomorrow. Until then, keep going.
