    In this deeply moving episode join me for an intimate and heart-wrenching conversation with Melissa, a resilient woman who has experienced the unfathomable depths of grief and loss.

    Melissa opens up about the her journey that began with the accidental drug overdose that claimed the life of her ex husband, and father of her children. Just when she thought life couldn't become more challenging, tragedy struck again when her husband died by suicide after a long battle with chronic pain and navigating a broken medical system.

    This episode is not just about the pain and despair; it's also a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Melissa reveals how, in the face of overwhelming adversity, she found the strength to not only carry her own grief but to help her children process their own trauma, loss, and sorrow.

This is a story that reminds us of the human capacity to persevere, rebuild, and ultimately thrive, no matter how profound the loss.
