Love In The After

When the past holds your heart, can the future still have your soul.

I didn’t think it was possible to feel love again after losing Callum. My husband and the father of our three chaotic boys. Grief swallowed me whole, leaving me to pick up the pieces of a life I no longer recognised.

I wasn’t looking for love. I wasn’t even after commitment. I just wanted to feel alive again. But if I thought navigating life after loss was hard, then navigating a love life was damn right diabolical.

A flat tyre, a man who swears he is the bear, and a passionate weekend away change everything. Clark’s shy, endearing nature and quiet strength have me wrapped up in feelings I thought died with Callum.

Falling for him felt like a betrayal...until suddenly, it didn’t. Until I accepted that falling in love doesn’t erase the past. It learns to live alongside it.

But life has a cruel way of testing resilience. Unexpected losses and brutal truths shattered my mending heart all over again. Through the heartbreak, I discovered something I never believed I would find.
