Melissa Mallari
Melissa Mallari created the Hospital Stay Support Notebook from personal experience after the loss of her late husband. During his hospitalization, she quickly discovered how overwhelming it was to keep track of the constant flow of information, conversations, medical updates, and paperwork. Notes were scattered across loose sheets of paper, making an already difficult season even more stressful. Determined to help other caregivers navigate similar journeys, Melissa designed the Hospital Stay Support Notebook as a practical, faith-centered resource for the primary support person of a patient receiving medical care. With dedicated sections for organizing contacts, daily updates, questions, finances, calendars, and important conversations, the notebook serves as one central place to keep everything that matters most. Melissa hopes this notebook brings clarity in moments of uncertainty, encouragement during long days, and the reassurance that no caregiver has to carry the weight of the journey alone.
