This book covers all of the aspects of unexpected tragedy. You are walked through the roller coaster of emotions and given tips and insights on handling the grief that accompanies such a ride.

Jennifer's story about her husband's tragic death is very moving. She is transparent and speaks of the difficulties she faced after losing her husband. It is very educational as she gives the reader things to do now that will help if unforeseen events happen in the future. It is a touching story that keeps the reader engaged and interested every single page. Well written and a great read.

There are so many elements that I really appreciated in Jennifer's book, and her ability to share her journey is remarkable. Many poignant messages resonated with me that I am confident will also resonate with other readers of this book. It was apparent that she was so honoring to whoever reads this, and I feel that it's something that everyone should have in their home because death, tragedy, and loss are part of the human experience, and many of us don't know how to navigate it. I recommend it as a preemptive guide that everybody should read, not just those who have experienced loss but anybody who will.

While there is never an “end” to mourning, having the right resources and someone there with you can make the road to recovery just a little easier and Jennifer's book just does that.

FAQ

1. What Inspired You to Write This Book?

I was inspired to write this book after being interviewed for a podcast about the loss of my husband. The positive comments received in response to the episode when it went live proved that sharing my story could help people. Writing a book allowed me to go into further detail beyond what I shared in the podcast.

2. What will your readers gain from your book?

I hope my readers find peace and comfort knowing they are not alone. I hope readers will also find that it is an excellent tool to have with resources they can use to help themselves or others in similar situations.

3. What was your unique quotient for this project?

Everyone’s story of loss has a unique quotient, and we can never walk in each other’s shoes or know what people are carrying or have been through. However, sharing the stories of others in this book will surely be a unique quotient.

4. How did becoming an author help in your brand/business?

Becoming an author has strengthened my writing ability, and I have learned much about book publishing and the marketing of a book. I have an extensive background in marketing but have never marketed a book before, so it’s been an incredible learning experience to stretch my marketing muscles that way. It’s also a great addition to my resume!

5. What are your future plans as an author?

I keep mentioning that this is my “first” book, which I never knew or thought I would say. Maybe I would write one, and that would be it. But after this experience, I am very interested in writing a second book. At this time, I don’t know what I will write about, but I would like to see what kind of feedback I receive from the first one, as I believe an idea will develop from there.
