My Spouse Died Too: Episode 56: You're Worthy Because You're Alive (1 of 3)

Episode 56: You're Worthy Because You're Alive (1 of 3)

Jun 8, 2021

Widower poet Barry Johnson returns!

I first met Barry when we recorded about a year ago. Just four months before we recorded, Barry was almost dead. Three months before that recording, Barry’s life was saved by a liver transplant.

In this episode,

Barry makes a confession—I urge you to listen with compassion and empathy.

Barry bares his heart about his depression-where it comes from-rough stuff.

Is Barry still pissed at God?

How work helps Barry cope. Barry reads his poem.

And Barry’s personal demon: being unworthy of love.

And lots more.
