Welcome listeners as we dive into another profound and often overlooked topic, and that's sibling loss. 

Uncovering the profound power of writing as a tool for navigating grief, we sit down with author Ronald Kimmins, who beautifully intertwines his personal experience of loss with the compelling narrative of his fantasy novel, Wild River. A raw, honest and deeply moving journey, we delve into the ripple effects of Ronald's sister's sudden death on his family, understanding that grief is not a singular emotion, but a multifaceted experience that can vary dramatically from one person to the next.

In an intimate conversation, Ronald shares how his brother's perspective on their sister's passing provided him with a sense of peace, reminding us all of the importance of hope in the face of tragedy. Ronald's story is a testament to how belief and purpose can be a powerful force when grappling with grief.

As our conversation draws to a close, we explore the lasting impact of Ronald's loss on his family and the decisions they continue to make in its aftermath. Ronald's journey isn't just about writing; it's about finding joy amidst sorrow and understanding that it's okay to reach out for support when grieving. This episode offers an illuminating glimpse into the complexities of grief, the potential for hope, and the transformative power of storytelling.

In this episode, we explore the personal journey of our guest, Ronald Kimmons, who experienced the tragic loss of a sibling at a very pivotal time in his life. 

Through these conversations and reflections, we gain valuable insights into the complexities of grief and the profound ways it shapes our lives and our family relationships!
