There's No Map For This

Ever feel like grief is too messy for words—and too real for clichés? You’re not alone.

I’m Keith: widower, father, photographer, and teacher. An American, feeling alone in France. After losing my wife, Melissa (non-smoker, vegetarian, CrossFit!), to an aggressive lung cancer, I started this channel to share my raw, unfiltered journey through grief. This isn’t a “how-to” or an inspirational highlight reel. It’s a space for real talk about mental health, family, and the non-linear path of healing.

Here, I show the confusion, the ugly days, and the small steps I take to keep going. If you’re struggling—especially as a man who feels unseen or pressured to “be strong”—this channel is for you. I see you. You are not alone.
