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.
