Love Never Leaves: A Story of Life After Life, Quiet Realisations, and the Surprise Being Home

She hadn't meant to stay. But love doesn't know how to leave. When Mia sits down on her sofa one Tuesday afternoon to rest, she doesn't know it's for the last time - a gentle, peaceful passing, no pain, no long goodbye. When she wakes standing in her living room, looking down at her own body, her first thought isn't I'm dead. It's Oh no, the laundry is still in the dryer. After, she stays. Not out of fear - but out of love. She nudges her husband's keys when he can't find them. She pulls a scarf on to her daughter's shoulders when she needs the comfort. She sits beside her son when he's worried. And slowly, something beautiful unfolds; they begin to feel her. Not just in the sad moments - but in the joyful moments too. Through promotions and weddings, through hard days, through quiet evenings and family gatherings - Mia is there. Always. And as she crosses into the spirit world, she learns the greatest truth of all; Love never leaves. This is a short, but not too short story about the beautiful comforting truth that those who have gone before us are never truly gone. They are nearer than we think, always ready to come when we call. Because you don't have to be seen to be loved. And you don't have to be here to be home. And they - the ones who went before - are always just one thought away.
