Since 2018, Michelle Moriarty’s life has been split into two halves. Before the love of her life, Nathan died, and after. Michelle and Nathan were raising their family in regional WA after a romance, Michelle says was for the ages. Michelle was working as a social worker, Nathan and her were a team, and life was pretty good. But on the 10th of June 2018, everything changed. Michelle’s grief was all-consuming and isolating despite the village she had around her. She knew then that she didn’t want any other person to feel that way, so she founded Grief Connect - a Young Widowed Support group, and online hub where widowed men and women could come and have honest conversations about the realities of losing loved ones. And then, four years later after losing her father, she founded a similar group for widowers over 55 .Michelle is a remarkable woman and today she shares her grief, her joy, what it was like learning to love again, and how she’s mothered through it all. This is Michelle’s story.
