Our Story
Meagan Davies and Staci Fox are best friends who found each other later in life and discovered almost immediately that their connection was the kind that changes you. What began as an easy conversation and mutual admiration deepened into a friendship rooted in honesty, humor, fierce loyalty, and the courage to tell the truth when it matters most.
Their book, Miss You Already, was born out of their shared experience of anticipatory grief, walking together through Staci’s terminal cancer diagnosis while continuing to live, love, laugh, and tell the truth about what it means to face loss. Through their combined voices, one shaped by advocacy and lived courage, the other by clinical insight and witness, they offer compassion, clarity, and companionship to anyone navigating the in-between space of loving someone whose time is limited.
Together, Meagan and Staci write with truth, laughter, and profound tenderness, naming what so many people carry quietly. This book is not just about grief; it is about friendship, presence, and learning how to live fully inside uncertainty.
Most of us think grief begins after the funeral—but for many, it begins the moment a diagnosis redraws the map of their lives. Miss You Already is a powerful memoir following counselor Meagan and her best friend Staci, who is living with stage four lung cancer. Told with raw vulnerability, professional insights, and a healthy dose of humor, their story explores the emotional paradox of missing someone who is still here.
“A lovely quote from our friend natosha reid rice.”
