Michelle Tyliakos - Knowing What’s Probable, Inviting What’s Possible – a Story of Love, Connection and Vitality
Michelle would say they had an average family life. A family of 6, kids going to school, struggling to make ends meet, running a business, and always wanting more time with her husband. Average, at least, until her husband Steve was diagnosed with a rare heart cancer. Throughout Steve’s illness, they committed to face it all with love, connection and vitality. For over 1.5 years they navigated the health care system, knowing what was probable, yet inviting what was possible as they explored alternative care options, advocating and asking questions so they could make the best decisions for Steve.
In December of 2021 Michelle became a widow, raising 4 children on her own. With Michelle’s storytelling she shares what was most helpful for her; what she wants others to learn from her story and how this time with her husband was the worst time and yet the most beautiful time of their lives together.
