Send us some LOVE!

The space between devastating loss and finding meaning again often seems impossible to navigate. Steve Gamlin takes us on his extraordinary journey through that landscape after suddenly losing his wife Tina in December 2023 while traveling abroad. With remarkable candor and unexpected moments of joy, Steve reveals how their 17.5-year love story continues beyond physical separation.
What makes this conversation truly special is Steve's ability to intertwine heart-wrenching grief with profound gratitude. He shares how Tina had gently prepared him for her passing, saying "I'm going first because I don't want to be here without you." Even as he processed the shock of her sudden death, Steve discovered how she'd already been his "blue-eyed angel" - leaving him with exactly what he needed when he found himself alone in a foreign country.
The emotional centerpiece of their story involves sticky notes - the small, everyday expressions of love they exchanged throughout their relationship. After Tina's passing, Steve discovered she'd kept every single one he'd written her. He transformed these treasured mementos into a framed collage, creating both a tribute and a tangible connection to their enduring bond.
Steve explains how visualization techniques helped him process grief and find direction when everything seemed lost. His approach focuses not just on material goals but on emotional wellbeing, core values, and meaningful connections - elements that become even more crucial when navigating loss. He offers practical insights for listeners struggling to recognize signs from loved ones who have passed, encouraging us to quiet the analytical mind and simply be present to the nudges and coincidences that might actually be something more.
