Footprints

Steps to Acceptance, The Loss of a Loved One

By: Charles Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

After losing over twenty loved ones—including his parents at a young age—U.S. Army veteran Charles "Smittytrain" Smith hit rock bottom: deep depression, self-harm, a suicide attempt, and five years bouncing between veterans’ shelters. In FOOTPRINTS, he draws from his crucible of pain and the 5-7 stages of grief to offer honest, practical coping skills that helped him survive and rebuild.

This book guides you through:

• Facing the reality slap of loss
• Sitting with pain instead of numbing it
• Filling the void left behind
• Discovering a new normal
• Bargaining, growing, and replacing negative thoughts with positive ones
• Staying emotionally stable, practicing mindfulness, leaning on loyal friends, and evaluating faith

Written with raw vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, FOOTPRINTS reminds you: You are not alone. Keep them in your heart—they’re never truly gone.

A must-read for anyone grieving, healing from trauma, or supporting a loved one through loss. Short, powerful chapters with real coping tools you can use today.
