A Tribute to Emily's Legacy

About Megan: The Voice Behind The Blog

Learn about me, my life, and my relationship with Emily.

Megan Glosson

Emily's Fiancée

Hi, I’m Megan—a writer, storyteller, and the heart behind Because of Emily. I created this blog to honor my partner, Emily, who passed away in 2022. She was my greatest love and inspiration, and her influence continues to shape my life in ways I never imagined.

Writing has always been a form of healing for me. Through Because of Emily, I share stories about love, loss, and finding hope after heartbreak. When not writing, I’m likely curled up with a good book, exploring new places, or sharing moments of joy with friends and family.

This space is more than just my story—it reflects the resilience and love we all carry. I hope my words offer comfort, connection, or simply a reminder that we are not alone, even in our hardest moments.
