Wanting Love Without Replacing Love

What happens when you still love your husband deeply…

but your body longs to be held again?

In this episode of For the Love of Mr. Jones, I speak honestly about a part of grief that often goes unspoken, the guilt that can come with wanting love, tenderness, and connection after loss.

This is not an episode about dating or moving on.

It’s about loyalty, longing, and learning how to live inside the space where grief and humanity coexist.

We talk about:

The difference between betrayal and biology, why wanting touch doesn’t mean you’re ready for a relationship, how grief lives in the body, not just the heart, the quiet shame that can come with imagining love again and what it really means to want to be held

This episode is slow, reflective, and deeply personal.

There’s no fixing here. No timelines. No pressure.

Just truth, grief education, and permission to be human.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted for wanting love again while still honoring the love you lost, this episode is for you.

For the Love of Mr. Jones is a space for honest conversations about love, loss, and becoming without apology.
