Love, Healing, and the Power of Found Family

They say family is where life begins and love never ends. But what happens when the family you’re born into doesn’t give you love, safety, or belonging? This is where the idea of found family becomes so powerful and it’s at the heart of Dia Lavish’s Divine Timing.

In the story, angels entrust Gertie with a mission: to become the matriarch for souls in need of healing. For Vanessa, who grew up in a home filled with loss and cruelty, and Bret, who lost his mother too soon and never fully recovered, the idea of “family” feels broken. Yet through divine timing, their paths cross with Gertie and others who choose them not because of blood, but because of love.

This mirrors real life in a beautiful way. Many of us find “family” in friends, mentors, or even communities that nurture us in ways our biological families couldn’t. Found family reminds us that love isn’t limited by lineage it’s expanded through choice. The people who sit with us in our struggles, cheer for us in our victories, and accept us for who we are can be just as meaningful sometimes even more so than those related by birth.

What makes this theme so touching in Divine Timing is that love and healing walk hand in hand. Bret and Vanessa don’t just find romance; they find safety, understanding, and the courage to rewrite their stories. With Gertie’s guidance, they learn that family isn’t just something you inherit it’s something you create.

Lesson: If your family of origin hasn’t always been a safe place, know that you are free to build a new one. Love is expansive, healing, and transformative. Like Vanessa and Bret, you can find belonging in the people who choose to love you for exactly who you are.
