Every Wednesday

Every other Wednesday, I will post a reflection on the landscape of grief. This blog isn't just for widowers. It's for everyone who grieves. I want to encourage people to share their stories and compassion with each other, build up a community of support, and help everyone understand the trauma that death brings.

Hiking Through Grief


When men grieve, they often need to do something physical to help them along. Some men build things. I go hiking for a week in Yosemite.

My goal each day is to reach a scenic viewpoint, but I also want to find a place along the way where I connect to something solid and real.

One of my essays was published this week by The Manifest Station. It's about the parallels between grief and being hard of hearing. You can read it here:
