About MICHELLE

I'm Michelle Medeiros, a loving daughter, wife, mom and dog mom.  In mid-April of 2021, my mother along with my husband, son and I got sick with Covid.  I watched my entire family suffer before me.  I couldn't have imagined how drastically the lasting effects of the pandemic and virus would change my life.  I called the ambulance on April 30th, when I realized that my mom was having trouble breathing and had passed out while attempting to eat.  The paramedics came to her rescue, and she was taken to a nearby hospital. It was only 12 days later that my entire world would change forever. Even though the doctors did everything in their power to save her, her lungs failed, and she passed away.    

 

I couldn't comprehend what had just happened. I had never experienced the intensity of pain that came from deep within my soul.  I was numb to everything for what felt like forever, but the pain shortly began to set in. Days turned to weeks, which turned into months.  The insurmountable pain, and all of my deepest fears rose to the surface of my mind.  My mom wasn't here, now what?  What do I have to live for? Why do I need to live through this pain?  In being honest with myself I realized I was completely stuck, hurting, and in such intense pain that I was convinced I couldn't get out.  

 

I want to share my experience with you and what I've learned through the process of dealing with the pain of grief. I want you to know that it is possible to move through your grief and begin to live again and create the life that you are destined for.
