Do you know someone so intensely that their loss feels like a physical pain? Love tends to remain even after the one we love is gone. Love can seem endless through memories, dreams, or hopes of reconnection, like a strand woven into time. This enduring nature of love implies that it is stronger than we can ever know. It leads us to rethink what it is to let go.

In “Momentary” by Taylor Townsend Bohl, the main character, Rowan, struggles with the passing of her husband, James. She grieves deeply, but so does she think that their love isn’t dead. She takes a magical and emotional journey to overcome fate and get back to him, delving into the realms of love, destiny, and the extent to which we would go for closure. As Rowan navigates her heartbreak, readers are encouraged to reflect on their journeys with love and loss. It is a question of how far we would go for love, even if it means breaking the very essence of reality.

Love that cross-time boundaries aren’t mere fantasy. Most people have had vivid dreams or unexplainable omens that remind them of a deceased loved one. These experiences can be like whispers from another world, bringing comfort or even advice. Whether you believe in magic, destiny, or just the strength of memory, there’s no denying that love leaves a mark on our souls. During these times, we take comfort, strengthening the notion that ties of love don’t just disappear. Instead, they keep ringing, navigating us through our nights and days.

So how do we celebrate love that is larger than life—or death? We preserve their histories. We hold dear the things they taught us. And occasionally, as with Rowan, we are brave enough to believe that love is not held captive by the laws of this world. In sharing our memories and honoring the lives of those we’ve lost; we forge a legacy of love that radiates. This ongoing bond illustrates that love transcends time; it evolves and expands alongside us.

If you’ve ever questioned if love is more than a matter of time, this story is a heartwarming examination. It softly reminds us that the ties we form are not so easily broken and that love, in all of its variations, can reach beyond even the confines of life itself.
