The Empty Side of Our Bed

When Bonnie died, my world fell apart. This book is the story of what came after—the empty bed, the silent house, and the long road through grief and loss.

Over ten chapters, I share everything: the crushing shock of losing my wife, the chaos of navigating life with a broken heart, the quiet moments when memories hit like a freight train, and the sometimes painful but necessary steps toward finding myself again. It’s about family coming together and pulling apart, about the struggle to work, to parent, to live, when nothing feels right anymore.

This isn’t a neat or hopeful story told with a silver lining. It’s the real, raw truth of what it means to lose someone who was your everything, and how you fight to keep going when the future feels impossible.

If you want a memoir that doesn’t sugarcoat grief but also refuses to let it define you, The Empty Side of Our Bed is that story.
