A Life Reimagined: Finding Hope After Loss
Jill Halfpenny (Author, Narrator), Macmillan (Publisher)
Jill’s world shattered twice. First, as a child when her father died suddenly. Then, decades later, when her partner Matt suffered a similar fate.
Life Reimagined chronicles her journey through this profound grief. It’s not just about loss, but about the unexpected growth that can follow. Jill delves into the science of grief, explores healing techniques, and shares her personal path to hope.
This warm and compassionate book offers a lifeline to those facing loss. It’s a testament to the strength we can find within ourselves, even in the face of immense sorrow.
🧠 Understand the ‘Stages’ of Grief
Many people first encounter grief through the idea of “stages,” but the model is often simplified or misunderstood.
Our Stages of Grief page looks at where the framework began, what each stage represents, and how it can support understanding – without suggesting that grief unfolds in a tidy order.

📘 A clear explanation of what the Five Stages are (and what they’re not)

Grief Sucks: (But Your Life Doesn’t Have To)
by Brooke Carlock (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
For Brooke Carlock grief is all too familiar. In the span of just eighteen months, she endured the loss of her father, mother, stepmother, and beloved ten-year-old daughter. With unwavering candour, Brooke narrates her journey through grief, offering a guiding light for those struggling under the weight of loss.
This book ditches the platitudes and offers the TRUST Method – real tools for navigating grief. It’s brutally honest (and at times funny), and lets you grieve on your terms – crying in the shower, laughing inappropriately included.
Grief may suck, but Brooke encourages the reader that they are strong, and that there’s a way through.
