Annual Paid and Patron subscribers will receive the ebook version for free, while free subscribers will have the opportunity to purchase it.

Stoic Reflections Vol. 2 will begin in 2–3 weeks.

Thank you for joining me on this reflective journey. Your responses and engagement have meant the world to me.

It hits you somewhere beneath your ribs.

That hollow feeling when something precious vanishes from your life.

A relationship ends.
A loved one dies.
A dream crumbles.
A chapter closes.

And suddenly, you're cast into that strange territory of grief.
That landscape where nothing looks quite right.
Where time behaves oddly.
Where you feel both numb and in excruciating pain.

Some well-meaning person might tell you, “Just be stoic about it.”

As if being stoic meant not feeling.
As if it meant emotional numbness.
As if it meant pretending not to hurt.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
