Sofia opens up about her journey through grief after the heartbreaking loss of her fiancé, Gabe, with Adri on the two-year anniversary of the accident that changed it all. The girls get real about what it’s like to navigate life after loss, identity shifts, society’s weird rules about grief, and the wild rollercoaster of healing. From mediumship to retail therapy (yep, it happened), and memories that live on in hoodies and old songs, this episode is a sacred space for anyone who’s lost someone they love - and is learning to live again. This is for the soft-hearted warriors: the lovergirls who've loved big, lost deep, and are still finding beauty on the other side 💐
LOVERGIRL TAKEAWAYS:
💔 Grief can crack you open… and transform you: losing Gabriel reshaped Sofia’s sense of identity and opened the door to deep personal growth and emotional healing
💔 Memory is medicine: From wearing his clothes to telling stories, keeping Gabe’s memory alive has become a grounding ritual of love and connection
💔 You don’t need to “perform” your grief: Society often rushes grief, but Adri and Sofia emphasize that there’s no timeline - it’s okay to feel good and feel broken in the same breath
💔 Community and support matter: Sofia reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be done alone
💔 Hope is a compass: Even after loss, there’s still love, joy, laughter, and a future worth stepping into. Healing is messy - but it’s also magnetic
