After the tragedy, Michaela shared a separate post thanking people for their support.
“Thanks to everyone who got in touch. I’m really sorry, but I probably won’t answer for a while, even if we’re close,” she wrote on Twitter. “And thank you to everyone for telling stories and sharing how he influenced you. Whenever you think of him in the future, please talk about him. “
She also went to the She Rates Dogs podcast Twitter page to comment, “Mat and I recorded another episode that was supposed to come out Tuesday but will likely be put on hold.”
“I know that in the years to come I will be so happy that there are so many recordings of Mats Lachen that I can revisit,” her message continued. “I’m not ready to talk about anything or describe it in the past tense. I think you all knew within 10 seconds of listening to him how alive, loving, accepting and wonderful Mat George made him so happy. Your words and your support made him so happy. Thanks for talking about him. “
