I sit down with grief educator and author Melissa Hull, who shares the unimaginable story of losing her 4-year-old son, Drew, in a tragic accident. Melissa takes us back to that devastating day and opens up about the shame, guilt, and heartbreak that followed. Through her story, she shows us how grief can become a catalyst for growth, and how one letter from a stranger changed the course of her life.
Melissa also shares the heartbreaking journey through multiple pregnancy losses, her struggle to believe in herself as a mother again, and how she rebuilt her life, her identity, and her relationship with grief. She’s now helping others do the same through her books, her voice, and her mission to show that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. This episode is full of truth, tenderness, and hope for any mom navigating life after loss.
