The loss of a lover represents the most intimate and personal of all losses, one that people rarely discuss even in grief groups or therapy sessions. Through Pablo Neruda's powerful love poems, we explore how poetry can give voice to the unique grief of losing a romantic partner and provide comfort for those experiencing this particular type of loss.

• Grief differs across various types of losses, requiring different approaches beyond a one-size-fits-all solution
• The intimate nature of losing a lover creates unique challenges in sharing and processing this grief
• Pablo Neruda's Nobel Prize-winning poetry offers powerful language that captures the experience of mourning a lost love
• Poetry provides a way to express complex feelings of absence, continuing bonds, and the contradictory emotions that characterize romantic grief

Remember I'm always available for spiritual direction by Zoom to those who are grieving.
