Rory Feek: My Journey from Tragedy to Triumph




Rory Feek's life has been a rollercoaster of emotions. From the highs of finding love and success to the lows of losing his wife to cancer, Rory's story is one of resilience and hope.
My wife Joey and I were married for 14 years before she was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer in 2014. The next two years were a whirlwind of doctor's appointments, treatments, and hope mingled with despair. In March 2016, Joey passed away at the age of 40.
Losing Joey was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I was lost and broken. But I knew that I had to find a way to go on for my daughter, Indiana.
In the months and years following Joey's death, I found solace in music. I wrote and recorded several songs about my love for Joey and our life together. These songs were a way for me to process my grief and to share Joey's story with the world.
In 2017, I released an album called "Life's Not Fair." The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped me to connect with other people who had experienced loss.
Since then, I've continued to write and record music. I've also written a book about my journey with Joey, called "This Life I Live." And I've been speaking out about the importance of hospice care and end-of-life planning.
My life will never be the same without Joey. But I'm grateful for the time we had together, and I'm determined to live my life to the fullest in her honor.

Finding Love Again

In 2020, I met Trish Dailey. She's a wonderful woman who loves me and my daughter. We got married in October 2022, and I'm so happy to have found love again.
Trish has been a great support to me. She understands my grief and she helps me to keep moving forward. She also loves Indiana, and they have a great relationship.
I'm so grateful for Trish and for the love she's brought into my life. She's made me a better man, and she's helped me to heal my broken heart.

A New Chapter

I'm excited for the future. I have a lot of new projects in the works, and I'm looking forward to spending more time with Trish and Indiana.
I'm also grateful for the opportunity to share my story with others. I hope that my music and my words can inspire others who are going through difficult times.
Life is not always fair. But it's still a beautiful journey. And I'm determined to make the most of it, for Joey, for Trish, for Indiana, and for myself.
