What happens when life changes in an instant? And how do we find our way forward after unimaginable loss?

On this episode of Hey! Michelle with a Mic, Michelle welcomes grief coach Christina Rose for an honest, heartfelt conversation about love, loss, healing, and learning to embrace life again.

After tragically losing both of her parents in 2016, followed by her beloved uncle just four months later, Christina found herself navigating a journey she never expected. What began as her own search for understanding and healing eventually became a calling to help others move through grief and rediscover joy.

Together, Michelle and Christina explore why grief looks different for everyone, how loss impacts our emotional and physical well-being, and why the words we choose when comforting someone matter more than we realize. They also discuss the importance of keeping loved ones' memories alive, finding connection after loss, and permitting ourselves to experience happiness again.

From navigating unexpected loss to celebrating the people we love while they're still here, this conversation is a powerful reminder that grief and joy can coexist, and that moving forward doesn't mean leaving anyone behind.

Because while loss changes our lives, love continues to remain.
