With a Heavy Heart, I Write: A Father’s Raw Ten-Year Journey Through Grief by Rob Cohee

On July 6, 2016, Rob Cohee’s 14-year-old son Kaleb was critically injured in a dirt bike accident in rural Iowa. Eleven days later, he died. With a Heavy Heart, I Write is the raw, honest account of what followed. Through journal entries written in real time and reflections spanning the next ten years, this book captures the full weight of losing a child - the panic, the guilt, the unbearable silence, and the slow, uneven path toward learning to live with a grief that never fully goes away. There are no easy answers here. No false hope. Just one father’s unflinching truth about the most devastating loss imaginable, and the small moments of grace that somehow keep you going. For anyone who has lost a child, or loves someone who has, this book offers the rare comfort of knowing you are not alone.
