Company Isn't Connection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Loneliness after losing a spouse can show up even when you've got people all around you, and it doesn't mean something is wrong with you. In this episode, Ron names the "you've got people, you're fine" myth, shares what new research from Monash University and Boston University found about widowed men and loneliness, and walks through what actually helps: building one new routine or connection that belongs to the man you are now. If you've ever left the TV on just to hear a voice in the house, th
There Was No Deadline (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's no grief timeline anyone actually agreed to, yet so many men rebuilding after loss quietly grade themselves against one anyway. In this episode, Ron names the "stage model" lie — the idea that healing is supposed to move in a straight line toward a finish line — and walks through what rebuilding actually looks like one ordinary day at a time: better sleep, a real meal, a walk around the block. If you've ever apologized for not being "over it" by now, this one's for you. Link to free guid
The Way Back: What Comes After the Silence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coming back after loss doesn't happen in one big leap — it happens in the small decisions nobody's counting but you. This week on Rewrite The Story, Ron "Simplified" Myers talks about what actually comes after the silence: the slow, uneven, deeply normal process of re-entering your own life without forcing it and without letting anyone — including yourself — treat your pace as a problem that needs fixing. Drawing on his own experience finding his way back after losing his wife Terri, and a rides
Why Grief Makes Men Go Quiet (And Why It Isn't Betrayal) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grief makes men go quiet for reasons that have nothing to do with how much they loved the person they lost. This episode breaks down why the silence shows up, why the people around you often misread it, and what to do with it instead of fighting it. Ron walks through the research behind emotional shutdown after loss, why "real men carry it in silence" is a story worth rejecting, and one small sentence that can open the door back up without forcing you to explain everything at once. If you've eve
Unspoken Resentment After Loss: The Anger Men Never Say Out Loud (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most men rebuilding after loss carry an anger they've never said out loud — not at the loss itself, but at a life that kept moving, at people who moved on faster, sometimes even at the person they lost. In this episode, Ron looks at Gottman's Four Horsemen research on why unspoken resentment is one of the strongest predictors that a relationship is in trouble, and applies it to the relationship every man in grief has with his own silence. This is Week 1 of a new arc on what happens when the weig
