Hey!  It’s your girl, Jenny Morrow, you can also call me Jen if you like {I like both and you'll hear me use them interchangeably}.  I’m a loss mom, just like you, and I’m here to help you grieve well so you can live well and thrive after loss.

Our son, Matthew, died shortly after his birth in December of 2017, due to multiple fetal anomalies not compatible with life.  To this day we still don't have answers for why or how.  Even after a myriad of tests that’s all the more official diagnosis we ever got.  

We spent most of the following year struggle-bussing our way to another pregnancy (thanks secondary infertility) only to miscarry almost exactly a year after we lost Matthew.   

2019 brought more of the same, struggling to get pregnant, frustration peaking, resentment building, feeling like I’d been pushed beyond my  breaking point, and then some!

I couldn’t take the rollercoaster of hope and devastation each month anymore and finally scheduled an appointment with a fertility doctor because we either needed to get pregnant or be done trying.

Thankfully, we got the help we needed to conceive and our rainbow baby was born in June of 2020.

So, know that I’m with you in the pain that follows infant AND pregnancy loss.  I’ve had more than my fair share of heartbreak, days with empty arms, sleepless nights full of deep grief, and I can relate to the frustrations of a fertility battle too.

I found my way through grief by learning from others (personal and professional) and tapping into healthy habits rather than self-sabotaging behaviors and have ultimately learned how to live a full and happy life following devastating loss.

More than anything I want you to know you’re not alone while helping you grieve well so you can live well after loss and carry on your child's legacy.

Sounds cool Jen, but do I really need this?!

Is this for me?

Is it worth it?

Can’t I figure this out on my own?

Ready for the nitty gritty?!

I know you're wondering if it will be worth it...

...and perhaps thinking you can forge ahead on your own or go to the University of Google and Grief Quote Pinterest your way to healing but, I am confident you will save time, extra heartache, learn how to master your grief, feel the life start to come back into you, and begin to thrive in this loss mom life with Guide To Grief Academy!

I know it's scary to invest in yourself, but I also know the risks of unresolved trauma.  Consider...

1. What is the cost of not grieving?  Being burdened in your pain, feeling stuck, falling into destructive behaviors, enduring more pain because you didn’t get advice from someone who’s walked the road that could help you avoid it, not dealing with this now and then falling into deep grief years down the road when you’ve finally had enough and the emotions unrelentlessly come.
2. What is the cost of a therapist?  On average you will pay $100-200 PER SESSION to see a therapist.   And what if you’re not ready to do that yet, how do you know if you need a therapist?  What if you had lifetime access to content learned by going to therapy?  What if you had a supportive community for the rest of your life (or as long as you need it) and you only have to pay for it one time?  And what if your therapist can’t relate to losing a child so their advice and techniques for helping you heal fall flat?  Not to mention, I cover this topic in depth in one of the lessons so you'll know how to decide if and when therapy is right for you!
3. What is the cost of how grief impacts your health?  Did you know that grief increases inflammation which can aggravate other health conditions or cause new ones?  It weakens the immune system which makes it harder to combat infection.  It can increase your blood pressure which puts you at risk for cardiac issues and even blot clots.
4. What is the cost of how grief impacts your mental health?  You may battle loss of sleep, anxiety, depression, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue - all of which impact how your brain functions.

It’s important to process your grief so that the negative impacts do not wear on you for the rest of your life!
