  • Nelson Pereira Neto
    Talk shares a powerful story about loving deeply, facing loss, and choosing to keep going despite the pain. It reminds us that resilience is not about avoiding suffering, but about finding strength and meaning through it. Love may change after loss, but it never truly disappears—it becomes part of who we are and how we move forward.
