The kind that arrives quietly, when you realise someone who was once woven into your everyday life is simply no longer there.In this episode of Sacred Self Studio, Ntando Pretty Moyo sits with the grief of losing people she always assumed she would have, the version of herself she lost alongside them, and the part of grief we rarely talk about honestly.This is an open conversation about:Losing people without a dramatic reason, just life getting in the wayGrieving a version of yourself at the same timeHow one love lost can quietly change the way you let people in afterAnd the slow, tender work of keeping your heart open when everything in you wants to protect itIf you have ever walked around carrying open spaces where people used to be, and wondered whether those spaces are allowed to stay a little while longer, this episode is for you.Because grief is not a detour from love.It is proof that the love was real.This is a public episode.
