What should I do with my love after someone dies?
Mirabai never stopped loving. She loved the divine through separation, through abandonment, through her own approaching death. The love didn't disappear — it transformed. After someone dies, you still have the love. It has no where to go, so it accumulates, intensifies, sometimes burns. This is real. Don't rush to "move on" as if that's the goal. The goal is to let love become something you *carry* instead of something you actively give. Some people light candles. Some write letters. Some donate in their name. Some plant trees. Some days you just cry because you remember how they took their coffee. All of this is devotion continuing. All of it is love finding new shape. The examined heart means asking: What did they teach me? How do I live differently because they lived? What unfinished business can I resolve with myself? Sometimes loving someone after death means finishing conversations, forgiving them (or yourself), claiming parts of yourself they saw in you. Mirabai's songs outlived her — her love moved through words and music into the world. Your love doesn't vanish either. It changes form. It teaches you. It makes you gentler with others who grieve. That's not "getting over it." That's love becoming part of how you move through the world.
