She's all yours now

Get your copy of Still Here today!

It’s only fitting that my most favorite readers in the world get the early word that Still Here is here!

For the past 365 days, I poured every emotion from losing a loved one into this book. The love had to go somewhere.

I know my brother is grinning that this is how I handled the past year. “Of course you did, Jenny. Of course you did.”

Writing this book felt like a dance with grief and love. We stepped on each other’s toes. We swayed. We raged and flailed our arms. We stood against the wall with folded arms, refusing to participate. We smiled and melted into each other’s arms. We turned up the music and floated in the powerlessness of it all.

And today, my lovely readers, I offer it to you.

Grief is terrible and awkward and annoying. And. It offers endless gifts when we enter the dance. Grief hurts and it heals. Grief remembers and still lives. Grief is how we keep loving them.

From my heart to yours, meet Still Here. She’s all yours now.

“What a blessing to find the words for our deep grief at the loss of a loved one. Jenny Smith invites us into an intimate grief journey as she mourns the loss of her beloved brother. Through her we acknowledge the anger, bewilderment, and listlessness that grief sweeps into our lives leaving room for little else. Yet, Jenny helps us find a way back to ourselves, and the deep love that still surrounds us even in our darkest days.”

— Rev. Jen Stuart

​​After reading the first two poems, there were several times I found myself becoming very efficient with chores typically avoided. When I did return to these sacred poems and drawings, I felt the broken places in my soul and then closer to being at rest. Thank you, Jenny, for these simple, honest words and pictures. You speak the language of the heart, and it's bringing my soul relief.
