Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

How to Live and Love Again After Loss


Listen Later

When someone you love dies, people tell you to “move on,” but what does that even mean? How do you move forward when your heart still feels stuck in yesterday? 

In this Language of Love session, I answer a question from Susan, who lost her partner a year ago and still feels like she’s just going through the motions. We talk about why grief has no timeline, why some hearts feel it more deeply than others, and how to begin healing not by letting go, but by learning to hold love differently. Because grief isn’t something to get over, it’s something to move through.

We explore: 

  • Why there’s no “right time” to stop grieving

  • How to move through pain without getting lost in it

  • Why feeling your feelings is the only way to release them

  • The six pillars of grief healing and how they can support you in your journey

  • Why your loved one’s energy never disappears, it simply changes form

  • How to stay connected to someone you’ve lost through love, not longing

  • What it means to become a more awakened version of yourself through grief

    If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get over it,” this episode will remind you that healing is not about forgetting. It’s about remembering differently.

    Remember to visit my website and explore The Grief Healing Collective, a community designed to support your healing with resources, practices, and connection. You can also check out my Good Grief Course for deeper guidance on navigating loss with compassion and understanding. And if you’d like to send your questions or join a future Language of Love session, reach out at [email protected],  I’d love to hear from you.
