Feeling My Way Through the Grief
Feeling My Way Through the Grief is a podcast about the feelings and lessons learned along the grief journey. It’s a place to be real—to acknowledge the hard stuff and the tough moments along the way after losing a loved one. It’s also a place of hope—to embrace the fact that we’re still in this world for a reason and to walk forward as best we can, even though life is different now. With refreshing honesty and authenticity, Feeling My Way Through the Grief traces Chris Martin’s story of loss and his emotions along the often-confusing road of grief through a series of reflective insights and heartfelt poems. It grapples with the difficult parts of the grief journey—the questions, fogginess, loneliness, emptiness, pain, bitterness, regrets, lamenting, and deep sorrow. At the same time, it keeps sight of an eternal perspective based in faith, reflecting on legacy, memories, gratitude, contentment, and hope. This is a supremely relatable walk through the aftermath of personal loss, challenging listeners to embrace and express their own emotions as part of their healing process while moving forward one day at a time. This podcast has a companion book, Feeling My Way Through the Midlands: Poetic Perspectives on Life After Loss, written by Chris Martin, which will be released on Amazon.com February 19, 2025, in paperback and ebook formats.
