Love, Loss, and the Goal of a Lifetime with Nikki Mark

What do you do when everything you’ve built, everything you’ve believed in, suddenly means nothing, and all that’s left is heartbreak, silence, and the question, “How do I go on?” 

In this profoundly moving episode of The Language of Love Session, I sit down with author, mother, and speaker Nikki Mark, whose journey through unimaginable loss became a blueprint for healing, transformation, and connection across worlds.

In 2018, Nikki had lost her 12-year-old son, Tommy. Doctors had no answers, only silence. But what followed wasn’t the end of their story. In the depths of grief, Nikki began to experience undeniable signs, powerful dreams, and moments of connection that defied logic but spoke directly to the heart.

With no spiritual background to lean on, Nikki did what she knew best: she treated herself like a startup. One small step each day toward two goals: survive for her younger son, and honor her older one. From that resolve grew Tommy’s Field, a community soccer space dedicated to play, healing, and love, and a new mission to transform grief into purpose.

In this Conversation, we explore:

• How to find meaning when life makes no sense.
• The powerful “conversation” that foretold her son’s passing and the signs that followed.
• What it means to “treat yourself like a startup” and rebuild a life from the ashes.
• The role of dreams, signs, and synchronicities in grief healing.
• The connection between generational trauma and soul contracts, and how healing yourself can heal those who came before you.
• What it really means to “keep playing” when your heart is broken.
• The choice that changes everything: choosing life again.

If you’ve ever wondered whether love really continues beyond this world, or how to live again after loss, Nikki’s story is living proof that we can find grace even in grief and purpose where we once saw only pain.
