Heartbroken from grief…
- Are you devastated by the loss of a loved one?
- Bewildered by all the strong emotions and crazy symptoms?
- Wondering how you are ever going to survive?
- Tired of being stuck in a complicated grief?
“Back To Life”, our Personal Grief Guidebook,
provides just the answers you are looking for. Here we take you by the
hand and guide you gently through the dark maze known as bereavement.
Dear Friend
You are likely here because you have experienced the horrible, painful loss of a
loved one. And I am so very sorry for your loss.
In your quest to find help with your grief, you may have come across some “quick
fixes” offered over the Internet. Shame on them! What could be worse than taking
advantage of someone who is grappling with a tragic loss in their life like you
are?
Sadly, there is no “quick fix” to grief, but there are more
effective and comfortable ways to help mend your broken heart and lead you gently
back to brighter days.
You may be one of those
people who would never seek professional help, or lean on
a support group, or even cry on the shoulder of a trusted friend. Your grief is
just too personal and painful to share openly. If that describes you, then this guidebook is sure to help you.
In the privacy of your own home, you will learn all about the stages of grief
and how to survive each one.
Welcome to “Back to Life!”, our comprehensive and personal
Guidebook to Grief.
Here you will learn:
- Good, solid information on how the grief “process” really works.
- Which symptoms of grief are normal, and which are dangerous warning signs.
- Valuable and practical coping skills to help you get through each day.
- Secrets to getting a good night’s restorative sleep without prescription
drugs.
- How to endure the holidays and
thoughtless visitors.
- How to identify and defuse anger, guilt, and regret.
- Family changes to look for and how to keep your family intact through
this tragedy.
- Just the right activities and comforting rituals to help ease you
through your darkest days.
- Tried and true psychological exercises and strategies to help lessen the
raw pain.
- Satisfying and therapeutic creative expressions of grief.
- Effective memorializing techniques to honor and remember your lost loved
one.
- How to cling to hope and move surely towards brighter days.
I realize that not all these techniques will help you… everyone’s grief is
unique, and different coping styles and approaches will work for each person.
But you are sure to find something here of great value to you on your
bereavement journey.
Written by an experienced critical care nurse and certified grief counselor,
our excellent handbook will guide you through despair and help you learn to
embrace hope and joy once again. This enlightened and compassionate approach to grief recovery is sure to help
lighten your heavy burden, leading you gently towards successful resolution… and back to life once again.

ABOUT THE HARD COPY
We originally wrote the Grief Guidebook for ebook publication only, and it has been phenomenally successful.
Then we started getting requests for
“hard copies”. Most of the inquiries have come from grief counselors, clergymen and
nursing education departments who previewed it and wanted multiple copies.
So, to the publishers we went. And we found something out quickly… it’s
expensive to publish a book!
But we finally found a printer who shaped our guide
into an attractive paperback volume at reasonable cost. It is 8″X10″ with full-color
photographs. The pages and soft cover are of quality stock. You’ll be pleased
with it.
Order the e-book if you want to economize and perhaps print it out yourself.
A hard copy is a much better option for gift-giving or personal “workbook” use.
Order your hard copy below. We ship worldwide! Inquire about discount rates for multiple
print copies.

“Bless you, Jennie, for your Grief Guidebook. You have no idea how much this book has helped me. I lost my Mother to a virulant form of Cancer 4 months ago and I have been searching for answers ever since. Each Chapter seems like it was written just 4 me. What a beautiful, inspiring book!
After going through the workbook, I realize that I am not alone, that all of my feelings are normal and expected. I could not understand why my mother’s death hit me so hard, as she was 68. I understand now that grief can be hard to predict and that almost all people go through what I am going through.
I have found a lot of comfort and knowledge in your Guide and just wanted to let you know. Keep on with your good work, Jennie.
—Amy R., Suffolk, U.K.
Hello Jennie
Thank you very much for the copy of your book, it was an extremely helpful
insight into grief. I purchased your book to try and educate myself about grief.
I had been dating a very lovely man who is a widower, we began to date about 8
months after the death of his wife and he seemed to be
dealing with his grief, but in fact he was not.
Your book gave
me insight into what he was going through and how he was failing to deal with the grief. I was able to see that he was
ignoring it and filling his life with other things such as
renovations, multiple vacations, buying a sports
car. As long as he was running in ten directions the grief could not
catch him.
Through your
book I realized that our relationship was failing and there was nothing
that I could do, it was not about me at all. The best thing I could do for both of us was to give him the copy
of your book and explain that he needed to be
still and work his way through it and that he needed to do that without
me.
It was a
difficult decision but the right one for both of us in the end. I lost a
sibling ten years ago and your book was dead on the
money about the stages of grief and how it is necessary to work through it in order to bring peace and joy
back into your life without feeling guilty.
Once again thank you for your helpful insight.

“We just wanted to write to let you to know how helpful we find your Grief
Guidebook. We lost our precious little boy, Cody last year in a car crash. Although the car was only going about 20 mph, Cody’s head hit the window and he
was killed instantly from the impact. This has been so hard for us, but we have found a lot of support through our many friends at our church. And we rely on
prayer. I just have to believe that God will show us the way out of our
troubles.
I found your site one night while obsessively searching for grief websites and I
think it is the best one I could find, very informative and a gentle place to
explore. I emailed you about what a great site I thought it was, and you sent me
a free copy of “Back to Life”. We have truly found the book to be even more
useful then even your website is.
The lessons on guilt and anger brought my husband and I to a discussion about
Cody and what happened that horrible day of the crash. We each had resentments that the other did not know about, and we talked it all out one night. We have
truly benefited from your guide and highly recommend it for anyone stuck in a complicated grief like we seemed to be.
There is hope for the future, we know that, and pray that we will find peace one
day. Thank you so much for your helpful guidebook.”

“Your grief book has given me courage! Thank you!”
-S.B, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
“Got your book
today and it is amazing. You are a special lady to write it. I applied on Monday for a job at Hospice and wanted some reference books anyway – we really have many
losses to grieve in our lives and your book is so simple and
yet profound in the way that really touched me.”
Thanks, marylou
“Dear Jennie,
I received this information last night, have looked through it,
and am excited to get started on this journey.
I would like to order some copies of this: first for my three
children and second for two co-workers.
I will pay whatever it costs. As a nurse, when I find something
of this quality and I feel its benefits are so valuable…I like
to share!
I admit, I was skeptical because there is so much on the
internet that is crap, but this is awesome.
Thank You for doing what you do,”

“We lost our beautiful daughter, Amber LeAnn, twoyears ago. She drowned in the
pool during the Easter egg hunt. There were a lot of kids over and no one realized she was missing until it was too late. Amber was able to help 13 other
people live by donating her tissues and organs. Though that has helped us some,
we will never be the same since we lost her. My husband and I have been through
grief counseling and even attended a grief support group for several months. It helped, but really wasn’t the answer for us, we are private people.
A copy of your grief guide was given to us by our Pastor. We have found it to be
very helpful and have both read it cover to cover. I found Chapter 18, Breaking
the Vicious Cycle, has really helped me to put aside my grief long enough to get
back to work and give more time and attention to our other children.
The guide is just so well written and comforting, and it gives me hope that this
horrible grief will end in the near future. I did not understand the grief
cycles and how the process really works until I visited your website and read
this guide. I think everyone who has lost a loved one could benefit from it.
Thanks for writing it.”
~India Gibbs, Scottsdale, Arizona
“Dear Jennie,
I just read my copy of Back To Life and want you to know how deeply grateful I am. Thank you for writing this tender, thoughtful and courageous book. I am a fairly young widow (age 53) of 18 months, having lost my husband of 21 years in 2010. I am in a complicated grief process. Thank you for offering a way through that with the guided imagery technique. I had used this technique in the past, but forgotten about it. The way you described it was spot-on, and just perfect to open the door for a new way for people to change.
I am going to send your book to several family members, including my Mom, who just lost her beloved husband (my step Dad). I will suggest your book for my Beyond Loss grief group. So, THANK YOU! from my heart to yours. And thank you for the website and eCourse. It is just wonderful and a blessing.
Please tell me the book discount for ordering more than 6 copies? Thanks!”
Many blessings,
Colo Mom
Hi Jennie,
I’d just like to send you a personal thanks.
Your personal guide book to grief recovery (back to life) is
amazing.
I lost my partner 8 months ago in a car accident, he is my
world!
I came across your book one night when I was feeling like I
had hit rock bottom…to learn and understand grief I
believe is one of the most important steps of grief recovery
and your book delivers that in a very special way, it’s
truthful, honest and straight to the point but it also gives
you ongoing support.
It is worth every cent and more to me so thank you so much
for writing it.
