EP186: When Love Shows Up Again: Making Peace with New Joy After Loss

What happens when joy — or even love — returns after loss? For many of us, the first flicker of happiness can feel confusing, even disloyal. In this episode, Tim explores the emotional complexity of allowing new joy to coexist with grief — whether it shows up as friendship, creativity, self-discovery, or romantic love. Through the story of his late wife, Colleen, who rebuilt her life after loss and bravely opened her heart again, Tim reflects on how embracing new love doesn’t erase the past — it honors it. Because love, in all its forms, is never lost. It simply continues in new ways.
