It must have taken such bravery for the author to share this deeply personal and difficult story of the tragic loss of her husband. Even if you have never experienced a loss like she did there is so much to be gained and learned from her story. The book is heartfelt and through her story you learn of so many things that you likely never would have thought of until after the grief takes hold. Thankfully for the rest of us, Jennifer has put those things in writing so we can reflect on them, potentially prepare for them and ultimately be inspired through her own journey of healing.

Such a deeply personal story, told in such a meaningful and impactful way. I know this book will help so make folks who are experiencing loss and grief. There is a ton of useful information and advice, with a both heartbreaking and uplifting story/memoir as its base. The uplifting moments and stories of angels along the way are truly inspiring and encouraging. I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost someone.

I met Jennifer at a book event last year. Her story of sudden loss and healing is powerful. She provides information and resources to help others struggling with grief and loss. Her book also has lined pages with writing prompts where readers can choose to reflect and write their thoughts. At the end of the book, other people who Jennifer met along her healing journey share their stories of loss - all of which are powerful.
