Hey, love. I'm Jen ~
a writer and suicide loss survivor. I write words of hope and heart to help you through hard times. From poetry to practices, it’s all love. Take what you need. Even if life’s pretty good these days, there’s something here for you.
Hope you can hold on to.
Poetry prints, meditations, books. I believe in making things with heart, things that last a lifetime and impact your life for the better. Thoughtful, helpful, a joy to give and receive. The way it should be.
If all you’ve got left is a thread of hope, read my blog.
People say my words are the light in their darkness. I say: stay until you remember that you ARE the light.
“You helped me to not just survive. Thank you for that.”

Have some hope

Grief Lasts a Lifetime, but Love Lasts Forever (Part 1)
When my brother died by suicide eight years ago, I didn't know what to expect out of life after. Do you go through the stages of grief, one at a time? How long till you can laugh again? Does the pain ever go away? I found some answers, but not all of them. I learned that grief lasts a lifetime, but love lasts forever.

But if we could be kind to each other, we'd open up a window for someone. Read this poem to open your heart and share it with someone who needs your kindness today.

I Hope You Find What You're Looking For ~ A Prayer-Poem
I hope you look for one thing and, by chance, find something else beautiful and true. I hope that wherever you look, you see a piece of yourself in everything, and recognize in yourself an entire universe... In the end, I hope you find what you're looking for, especially when it's not what you set out to find.
