Josh Coleman is a writer, ultramarathon runner, and grief advocate whose life took an unexpected turn when he lost his wife Erin to a tragic car accident in June 2022. After twenty years of building a life together—from their early days in Kansas City to adventures in New York City and finally settling in Florida—Josh found himself navigating the complex terrain of grief while searching for a way forward. Drawing on his experience as an endurance athlete, Josh discovered powerful parallels between the mental fortitude required for ultramarathons and the journey through grief. His unique perspective combines raw emotional honesty with practical insights on resilience, healing, and finding purpose after devastating loss. In the aftermath of Erin's passing, Josh embraced a nomadic lifestyle, living part time in an RV van while exploring trails across the western United States. This journey of physical endurance became intertwined with his emotional healing, as he carried Erin's memory with him across mountain peaks and desert landscapes. Josh's writing speaks to both those experiencing grief and those supporting loved ones through loss. Through Moving Forward: Running With Grief, he challenges conventional wisdom about the grieving process while offering hope that it's possible to honor deep loss while still embracing life's continuing journey. When not on the trails or writing, Josh advocates for better understanding of the grief process and supports theater arts programs in honor of Erin's passion for musical theater. His story is a testament to the enduring nature of love and the human capacity to find meaning even in life's most challenging chapters.
