Love Lives Forever: Why Cemeteries Are Full of Untold Love Stories This Valentine’s Day

This Valentine’s Day, while everyone’s buying chocolate hearts and making dinner reservations, I want to talk about something that might seem unusual. But hear me out, because this is one of the most beautiful truths I’ve learned in my years as a psychic medium: cemeteries aren’t just places of goodbye. They’re actually incredible archives of the greatest love stories ever told.

And here’s the thing that breaks my heart a little. Most of these stories are disappearing, forgotten with time. We’re walking past monuments to eternal love every day without even knowing the incredible devotion they represent.

So let me ask you something: are we doing enough to tell them?

Love Doesn’t End at the Grave

You know what I see in my mediumship readings? I see love that refuses to die. I see husbands who’ve been on the other side for twenty years still watching over their wives. I see young couples separated by tragedy who wait patiently to reunite in heaven. I see grandparents keeping watch over grandchildren they never got to meet in person.

Love is literally the only thing we take with us when we cross over. Not money. Not fame. Not any of the stuff we stress about during our lives. Just love. Pure, unconditional, eternal love.

And that love gets imprinted everywhere. Especially in the places where we gather to remember.

The Love Stories Hidden in Plain Sight

Let me tell you about some of the most beautiful love stories I’ve come across, stories that are preserved in granite and marble but rarely told out loud.

The Pink Mausoleum

At Woodlawn Cemetery, there’s a mausoleum built entirely in pink granite. Lawrence built it for his wife Elvira because pink was her favorite color. But he didn’t stop there. He installed a crystal chandelier from their home inside it. He visited three times a week to play her favorite music. Every Valentine’s Day, he hand-painted more than 50 wooden hearts to decorate her resting place.

The inscription reads: “Side by Side Baby.”

Lawrence kept that promise for years after Elvira crossed over. He made sure her story, their story, lived on through his devotion.

The Broken Heart

At Forest Lawn Cemetery stands one of the most beautiful memorials you’ll ever see. It was built by grieving parents for their son Nelson, who died of what they called a “broken heart.” He fell in love with a maid who worked in their household, but they were kept apart by the social rules of their time. He never recovered from the separation.

His parents’ memorial stands as an apology and a tribute. A recognition that love matters more than social status. That some hearts literally cannot survive without the person they’re meant to be with.

Love Found in Grief

Here’s one that always gets me. Broadway star Marilyn Miller and actor Jack Pickford met in the most unexpected place. They were both at Woodlawn Cemetery, both grieving their deceased spouses, both building private mausoleums. In their shared sorrow, they found each other. They found companionship, understanding, and eventually love.

Sometimes the people who understand our pain the most are the ones who can help us heal.

Why These Stories Matter So Much

You might be wondering why I’m talking about cemetery love stories. What does this have to do with being a death medium or connecting with the other side?

Everything.

These stories prove what I tell people in every reading I do: love is the strongest force in the universe. It’s stronger than death. It’s stronger than time. It’s stronger than anything that tries to separate us.

When someone builds a pink mausoleum and visits three times a week for years, that’s not just grief. That’s active love. Present-tense love. Love that says, “You’re still part of my daily life even though you’re in heaven.”

And you know what? The spirits on the other side feel that love. They see those visits. They hear that music. They know they’re remembered.

People always ask me during readings: “Do they know I visit their grave? Do they see me there?”

Yes. Absolutely yes. And it means everything to them.

The Problem We’re Not Talking About

Here’s what keeps me up at night. These beautiful love stories, these testaments to eternal devotion, they’re fading away. The people who knew Lawrence and Elvira’s story are passing on. The docents who share Nelson’s tragic love story are retiring. The inscriptions on old headstones are weathering away.

In another generation or two, people will walk past the pink mausoleum and never know the love story it represents. They’ll see the Blocher Memorial and never understand the heartbreak and healing it symbolizes.

We’re letting these love stories slip through our fingers.

And it’s not just the famous ones. What about your grandparents’ love story? Your great-aunt who never remarried after losing her soldier husband in World War II? The neighbor couple who were married for 67 years and died six months apart?

Every cemetery is full of love stories that deserve to be told. Every headstone represents a connection that shaped someone’s entire existence. But we’re not capturing them. We’re not preserving them. We’re not passing them down.

Cemeteries: Archives of Love

Think about it differently for a moment. What if we stopped seeing cemeteries only as places of loss and started seeing them as what they really are? Archives of humanity’s greatest achievement: our ability to love each other beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond even death itself.

Some cemeteries are starting to get it. Oakland Cemetery offers Valentine’s Day walking tours celebrating love stories. Laurel Hill in Philadelphia does the same. They’re recognizing that people are drawn to these narratives because everyone can appreciate devotion that transcends death.

But we can’t rely on cemetery tours alone. Most of these stories live only in the memories of the living, and those memories are fragile.

As a celebrity psychic medium, I’ve connected thousands of people with their loved ones on the other side. And you know what I hear in nearly every reading? “I wish I’d asked more questions when they were alive. I wish I knew more about their life, their love story, what really mattered to them.”

We wait until it’s too late to realize how precious these stories are.

How We Can Do Better

This Valentine’s Day, I’m challenging you to think about love differently. Not just romantic love, though that’s beautiful too. But the love that lasts. The love that builds memorials. The love that visits graves for decades. The love that refuses to let go even when death tries to separate us.

And then I’m asking you to preserve it.

Tell your family’s love stories. Record them. Write them down. Make sure the next generation knows about the couple who eloped against their parents’ wishes in 1952. Make sure someone remembers the widower who brought flowers every Sunday for thirty years. Make sure the story of how your parents met doesn’t die with them.

Because here’s what I know from my work connecting people with heaven: those stories matter on both sides of the veil. The spirits want to be remembered not just as “someone who died” but as someone who loved deeply, who was loved deeply, who made love the center of their human experience.

Preserving Love Stories Forever

That’s exactly why I’m so excited about Life’s QR. It’s a beautiful way to make sure these love stories never disappear. Imagine being able to attach a QR code to a memorial that anyone can scan to learn the real story. To see photos. To read letters. To understand the love that’s commemorated there.

Future generations walking through cemeteries won’t just see names and dates anymore. They’ll be able to access the stories, the memories, the proof that this person loved and was loved in return.

You can turn a simple headstone into a living archive of a life fully loved. You can make sure that a hundred years from now, someone will still know why that mausoleum is pink, why those hearts appear every February, why that inscription reads “Side by Side Baby.”

Love stories deserve to be immortal. Now they can be.

This Valentine’s Day, Choose To Share Love That Lasts

So this Valentine’s Day, yes, buy the flowers. Make the reservation. Give the chocolate. But also do something more permanent. Sit down with your partner, your parents, your grandparents. Ask them to tell you their love story. Record it. Preserve it. Make sure it survives.

Because cemeteries are full of love stories that no one’s telling anymore. And that’s a tragedy we can actually prevent.

Love doesn’t end when someone crosses over to heaven. It continues. It grows. It becomes eternal. The question is: will we do our part to make sure those stories survive here on earth?

I think we owe it to all the Lawrences and Elviras, all the star-crossed lovers and devoted partners, all the people who proved that love is literally stronger than death.

Their stories deserve to be told. And this Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to start.
