Coffee with Patti
Ep.23 He's Still Here With Me | Melissa Mickelson
In this episode of Coffee with Patti, I sit down with my friend Melissa for a conversation that is incredibly personal, emotional, and filled with love.Melissa unexpectedly lost her husband, Dean, and as she shares her story, we talk about what itâs really like to navigate life after loss.But this conversation is about so much more than grief.Melissa opens up about her faith, the people who helped carry her through the hardest moments, and the ways she has continued to feel connected to Dean. She shares experiences that have brought her comfortâincluding signs and moments that made her feel that he was still near her and that he was okay.Melissa also shares something I think is so important for anyone supporting someone through grief: sometimes you don't need to have the right words. Sometimes your presence is enough.This was such a meaningful conversation for me, and I'm grateful to Melissa for trusting me with her story and allowing us to have this honest conversation together.If youâve ever experienced the loss of someone you loveâor if youâre trying to support someone who hasâyou may find comfort in Melissaâs story.And stay until the end⌠because we also get to meet PJ, the sweetest part of Melissaâs story and a beautiful reminder of the love that continues in unexpected ways. â¤ď¸âď¸ Welcome to Coffee with Pattiâa place where everyone has a story, and we make space to hear it.Follow us on instagram @Melissamicks@coffeewithpatti#CoffeeWithPatti #GriefAndHealing #LifeAfterLoss #FaithAndGrief #EveryoneHasAStory #motivation
