Good evening, everybody. How y'all doing? Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan. We got

DMs coming. So if you got a DM, drop them in the DMs on our Love Line IG page. It's any

questions I got. Topics you want covered. I'm going to be talking about a whole bunch of stuff. I

wanted to open the show by talking about dun-da-da-d-d-d-d-d-drum roll. Holidays are coming. So I'm going to try to kind of weave in a little bit of a holiday thread to some things. Talk about getting, getting over, dealing with the end of a relationship.

Now, that could mean a lot of different kinds of relationship. Friends, family members,

romantic partners. And as I was talking on an earlier show about honoring those that are no

longer with us, I just want to throw that caveat in there. For those

that have lost someone and it's due to something that isn't traumatic or inherently

destabilizing or feeling negative to them, find a way to bring them into the holidays,

doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. We bring people back through memory and through sharing.

And so utilize that, do that. People don't have to be gone, gone. And that's a

really beautiful way to still spend time with someone, let them be a part of our lives to honor the

impact they had on us. So remember that. That's a really powerful part of some people's grieving

and mourning process is to still talk about them. It can also be a way that people are a little

obsessive and

ruminating. We need time and space away. We don't want to live with some, I'm sorry, we don't

want to live in someone's absence, but it's okay to acknowledge that this person was here and

impacted us and that they're not with us. I think there's something really beautiful in that.

So I want to kind of call that out. Now, when we talk about endings of relationships,
