251. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CHRISTI MEEKS: A Sister’s Journey Through Grief

Christi Meeks vanished on a cold winters day in 1985. Her lifeless body was discovered three agonising months later. Her killer eluded authorities until 2003. Mikah Meeks is Christi's devoted older sister. In this episode Mikah reflects on Christi’s story and the profound impact that Christi's disappearance has had on Mikah's life. When she was just four years old, Mikah’s mother left their family home and Mikah was thrust into caring for Christi. Christi called Mikah "Mama," and the bond between the two girls was deep. When Christi disappeared, Mikah's world was changed forever. The burden of suppressing emotions took its toll on Mikah, leading to PTSD and a reliance on alcohol as a coping mechanism. Yet, amidst the darkness, Mikah's journey toward healing emerges as a beacon of hope. In sharing her story, Mikah sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of those left behind in the wake of tragic crime.Mikah’s determination to give her son the best possible life and her quiet reflections and advice to others who are healing their own trauma is nothing short of inspirational. Christi's legacy lives on through Mikah's unwavering strength and her commitment to finding light within the darkness.FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & SUBSCRIBER ONLY EPISODES, JOIN DEAR LITTLE ME & YOU for just $5 a month via the Apple Podcasts App or go to Supercast to join if you listen via Spotify or any other platform https://dearlittleme.supercast.com/If you have a story to share for this podcast please connect with me at www.instagram.com/mybigloveproject or send an email to [email protected].
