Episode 2.2 Where We've Been: Kim's Story

from Pause, Purpose, Possibility · host Chris Johnson & The Milkweed Group, LLC

Last time I noted that the podcast had been on hiatus for almost a year and a half because of the death of my wife Kim. This episode begins to unpacks that reality a bit, to honor her … and to honor the reality that everyone, each of us, is touched by grief at some point in our lives. Each of us faces loss, heartbreak, devastation, suffering, loneliness.  It’s universal, unavoidable, inescapable – and each of us experiences it in our own way.  This time I’ll tell the story, the basics of what happened, by way of sharing with you a letter I wrote last spring to the multitalented performer Mandy Patinkin, star of stage and screen whose one-man show Kim and I went to see over in St. Paul, on what turned out to be our last date.
