Love, Loss, and the Life We Planned

Ress interviews She Wolf Alchemy co-host Nique about a different kind of heartbreak – the loss of her fiancé, Xavier. She shares how they met in 2016, quickly fell in love, got engaged, and were preparing for a life together in Georgia while expecting their daughter. When Xay’s cancer returned aggressively, Nique was blindsided as she wasn't fully informed about the severity of his condition, leaving her feeling unprepared and unsupported during a critical time. When he passed away in December 2017 their daughter was just five months old. Nique reflects on the pain , panic attacks, and waves of grief that followed, especially during the fall and winter months, while raising a child who asks about the father she never got to know and how therapy, boundaries, and solo travel helped her slowly find healing and begin opening herself to love again.
