About this listen
When loss arrives without warning, grief settles into our bodies and steals our words. In those first weeks and months it can feel impossible to explain what we’re carrying. Grief: The Spoken Words offers language for the profound experience of loss. Written following my brother Kenny's sudden death, these poems arose from necessity when my own words failed me.
This collection honors grief's persistence beyond expected timelines, giving voice to sorrow when others expect us to move on. Each poem creates space for what often remains unspoken, acknowledging that grief doesn't follow a schedule or conform to others' expectations.
This collection stands as both companion to my memoir Holding on After Goodbye and as its own testament to the ongoing nature of love and loss.
I created these poems for anyone carrying grief's weight, anyone seeking permission to feel fully without apology. Keep it close for moments when your own words feel distant, or share it with someone navigating their own journey through loss.
In these words, grief isn't something to overcome. It's something to honor, because it testifies to a love that continues even when everything else has changed.
