Grieving You Poems of Love and Loss

This is the third year I’ve been living without Kathy, and the grief feels different this time. I don’t know what future years will bring, but this year it has been mostly a quiet, deep ache, one that lingers and at times feels like it physically hurts my heart. I’ve had many trips to the doctor this year for my heartaches, and while I’m grateful to know my heart is healthy... it remains broken from missing her.

From the very first day we lost Kathy, I began documenting my grief, and I revisited those writings, reflecting on my relationship with loss. Out of that reflection, I’ve created a book of poems about grief, grieving, and my personal journey through it all. The book is in its final stages of preparation for publication, and I’ll share more details as the launch date approaches.

With that said, I would like to thank you all for your continued support and for walking alongside me on this journey of grief.
