About Jenny

A friend further down the grief road.

Hey, friend. I'm Jenny.

I've been where you are. I'm not perfect, and I'm not fully healed. I'm a friend a little further down the grief road, sharing what I've learned in case it helps. In 2015, our 17-year-old son, Jacob, was killed by a drunk driver. Our son Caleb was badly hurt in the same crash, and for a while we didn't know if we'd lose him too. God met us in the middle of it, and he's still carrying us. However you lost someone you love, whether like us or in some other way, I'm so sorry, and I understand a little of how heavy it is.

GodPrints is my family's story of how God met us in our grief and helped us find hope after losing our son Jacob and nearly losing our son Caleb. GodPrints reached #1 on Amazon in Christian Inspiration and Spiritual Biography (May 2023). 2023 Ames Awards nonfiction finalist. Featured on podcasts, radio and TV, including TV-PIJN News, The HopeCast with Rachael Flick, Empowered Grief Journey and Our Hearts Are Home.

What this is not

I'm not a counselor, therapist or doctor, and Resilient Hope isn't therapy. If your grief feels like more than you can carry, please also talk with a doctor, counselor or pastor.

Why I made this place

A friend further down the grief road, sharing what I have learned about grief, faith and hope.

Why I made this place

I made Resilient Hope for the first days, weeks and months, when it is hard to read anything long. Start with the free page. The courses are here for later.
