"There will be days you feel closer to them." 

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 ---

Grief is not a decline in connection to our loved one. Some days, they feel so near you could almost reach out and touch them. 

 "There will be days you feel closer to them." 

It might happen on a walk, when the wind shifts just right. Or in the middle of a song, when the lyrics brush against a memory.
 These moments can be both beautiful and bittersweet—reminding you of what’s gone while also assuring you that love hasn’t vanished.
 Some days, the veil between your worlds feels thinner, and their presence wraps around you like a warm blanket.
 Don’t rush through those moments. Let them linger. Let yourself feel them, without needing to explain or diminish their magic.

 These flashes of closeness are reminders: love is not bound by time, distance, or even death.

 Pause here.
 This moment belongs to you, and you don’t have to rush it.
 The truths you carry are yours to keep.
 The steps you take are yours alone.
 I’ll be back with you tomorrow. Until then, Talk Soon
