Grieving Man Meets His Late Wife’s Carbon Copy Days after Her Funeral – Story of the Day
Alec’s wife, Melissa, died after a terrible battle with cancer. But days after her funeral, he saw her everywhere. Everyone thought he was going crazy, and Alec started to believe it too. But one day, he visited her grave and discovered the truth.
Melissa and Alec met during their senior year of college at Georgetown University. They both fell in love with the nation’s capital and settled there after marrying. Melissa barely talked about her family back home in Utah.

“It was her. She went to the milk section. Quick, let’s go,” Alec explained. They rushed to the milk aisle, but Melissa was not there. “Where is she? Let’s go to the next section.”
“Alec, man, listen, I know this has been traumatic, but that wasn’t Melissa. Let’s keep shopping,” Steve cajoled. They...
