A Word From The Author

Welcome.

If you’re here, you may be carrying grief that words can’t fully express. I’ve walked that road too. After losing my son Jonathan, I wrote the books; Sometimes I Cry in the Shower, Grief Healings 365, The Griefcase, and others, to offer honest companionship for those who are hurting. They come from my own recovery from the broken road, with the hope that you’ll find comfort, permission to grieve, and the quiet assurance that healing is possible.

Thank you for letting me walk a small part of this journey with you.

Upcoming Book

The Continued Journey of the Broken Road Traveler Coming 2026

In the two years since Digest of the Broken Road Traveler first reached readers, thousands have written to say the same thing: “I needed these words, but I’m not finished yet.” This is the book they, and you — have been waiting for.

The Continued Journey of the Broken Road Traveler offers more new truths, tenets, and teachings drawn from the next stretch of the road — the part where hardships begins to soften and hope takes root. 

You will find fresh insight on rebuilding trust in life, on forgiving yourself and others, and on discovering joy and purpose again — even when the road still feels broken.

This book meets you where you are and gently guides you toward the next waypoint on your healing journey.

The road continues. Hope continues…and you do not walk it alone.

Get in Touch with R. Glenn to Speak Before Your Group

“R. Glenn Kelly was the guest speaker at Delta Air Lines Wrenched Hearts Spring Fly In. Kelly brought an engaging and compassionate message on “how men grieve”. As a father who has lost a child himself, Mr. Kelly was not only our speaker but he felt like one of our members. He is able to discuss grief from a personal stand point and intersperse the discussion with humor to lighten the mood when needed. Delta’s Wrenched Hearts will absolutely have Mr. Kelly back to speak.” ~ Tim Moye

In June it will be 6 months since my son, Joshua, passed away. I find myself crying at the drop of a hat and asking all those questions. I write poetry to help me through the grief. This book had me from page one. By the last chapter….oh man!

Thanks for writing.

“Not since I read the book ‘As a Man Thinketh,’ by James Allen, circa 1890, has there been a comparable book for today’s world, in today’s language, with the same provocative insights and allegories of resilience that are embedded within its pages.

R. Glenn Kelly’s words are a gift of hope to all who have lost a loved one, and a beautiful tribute to the legacy of a wonderful son. I highly recommend it to anyone who is grieving, or those who know someone that is.

Never have I read a book so raw where I see a man’s feelings as nakedly expressed as R. Glenn has done. He talks to his readers; we can hear his voice as he speaks and screams. His journey over time takes us with him. His insight and knowledge is illuminating, his searing pain is felt.
