#Angel Moms / Hopes of Heaven with After Chloe/ Melo Garcia
Melo Garcia, a grief specialist, assists those who have lost what isn't replaceable by creating After Chloe, an online community that provides support, resources, and assistance through the difficult grief journey. And to find a way not only to process the pain of loss and grief but to incorporate grieving and living to find a life of living after loss. Melo started and cultivated After Chloe in 2015, with the idea to give the griever a feeling of community and to know that his/her opinions are, in fact, not only valid but that anyone can create a roadmap to find his/her way after the loss.
Melo created AfterChloe.com in honor of her daughter Chloe who passed away in 2011, and after losing both her parents.
And felt it necessary to help others deal with the grief and losses life present from death, divorce, identity, age, fertility, and empty-nesting by creating various types of solutions that the grieving finds a life worth living and to speak your grief in your way, a way that will assist you and inspire you to live and grieve.
In 2021 Melo started the podcast, the Resilience of Grieving and hosts an annual online Summit during the holidays to provide resources to grievers!
