My first Motherās Day after losing Brandi was one of the hardest days I had experienced up to that point.
I wanted to disappear emotionallyā¦ but I still had to show up for my son, my mom and my family.
Thatās one thing grief doesnāt prepare you forā¦ still having to keep going while your world feels completely broken.
If this weekend is hard for you too, I understand šš¾šš¾šš¾ #lifeafterwife #widower #widowerthoughts #fatherhood #lifeafterloss
Walking through the grocery store shouldnāt feel like thisā¦
but it does.

I got an email from Gabeās school about his 5th grade graduating... and it brought up something I didnāt expect.
Grief doesnāt just show up on the hard days.
It shows up in the moments that are supposed to be happy too.
This is what life looks like after losing my wife... navigating milestones, memories, and moments she should be here for.
If youāve ever felt this, youāre not alone.
This is Life After Wifeā¦. #lifeafterwife #grief #widower #lifeafterloss #griefjourney
Iāll be honestā¦ sometimes I wonder if Iām posting too much or if Iām starting to annoy people on here.
But then I get messages like thisā¦
And it reminds me why I started.
This was never about views or attention. This is me trying to figure my shit outā¦ and at the same time create a space where other people donāt feel alone in theirs.
Iām starting to see that itās actually connecting with people. People are opening up. Conversations are happening.
And that means more to me than anything else.
Brandi was a helperā¦ so this is my way of continuing to shine her light.
This is Life After Wife.
