A Journey of Joyous Hope
A raw, honest look at surviving suicide loss — and the unexpected, sparkling path from grief back to love, light, and a life worth celebrating. This is the story of how joy found its way back in.
From the hardest night of her life, to a life full of sequins
"We can live a joyous life with grief — by working on our grief with intention, over time."
Then, I saw her: on the floor.
Curled into the fetal position on her side.
With her head cradled in between her arms
as if to protect her ears from hearing any more.
Crying in a tone that shook my soul.
Begging “Noooooo, not my baby!”
I knew.
I fell to my knees and wrapped myself around her in an all-encompassing hold.
Jenny shares with painfully raw emotions her journey through tragedy and suicide in her family to the other side of pain, where joy and light await. Her story will pull you in as though you are living it yourself. Perhaps you have, and you are trying to find your way through the dark, or you know someone who has gone through deep loss or finds themselves at suicide risk.
Grief can be anything from divorce, failed business, bankruptcy, lawsuits, and more. This book relates to anyone recovering from any type of grief in its approach to learned coping skills.
Jenny bravely relives her loss, the whys, the anger, and finally embraces the truth. Suicide is a subject difficult for anyone to understand, let alone accept — she explains her personal discoveries of what she has learned and wants others to know.
You will see suicide through a different lens and know that there is hope and help for prevention, coping, and forgiveness. Her journey led her straight into the arms of Jesus, who lovingly held her, leading her into a community of support and Christian education. There is no "one" way to grieve and heal. This is the story of how Jenny, with God as her guide, went from agonizing, never-ending grief to a sequin life, full of love, light, gratitude, service, and joy.
