The High-Flying Adventures of Captain Grief

Blog
I started my original blog Feb 14/2013 the year after my wife died. I lost my dad when I was 19, I knew how to cope. I was determined to plan my holiday and not let it plan me. Well it worked. I wrote my way through the worst year of my life. I I laughed until I cried, and I cried until I laughed. And now I am still writing even after I self published my memoir High-Flying Adventures of Captain Grief. No surprise there, grief changes your life forever. Here the most recent blog posts await your eager eyes.
