Finding Grace
by Lynne Marie Jenrow
When grief arrived, Lynne couldn't sit still. After her Dad passed, she found herself walking desert trails before sunrise, restless and raw. Through daily walks among ancient saguaros, she discovered that grief isn't something to get over. Rather it is something to walk through. On the other side lies someone new who understands grace.
This memoir is for anyone who has lost someone they couldn't imagine living without, for women who've spent years caring for everyone else, and for someone who needs to slow down and trust that beauty still exists, even in loss.
More than a memoir. An interactive walk toward wholeness.
A journey through finding grace on desert walks, guided by an ancient, otherworldly wisdom that leads back to peace and joy.
When grief arrived, Lynne couldn't sit still. After her Dad passed, she found herself restless and raw while walking desert trails before sunrise. She didn't know she was looking for anything, except for a way to move, that is until the desert began to speak to her.
What it taught her became this book. That grief isn't something to get over. It's something to walk through. And on the other side of that walk is someone new. Someone whole. Someone who finally understands grace.
Grief Walk: Finding Grace combines Lynne's honest, tender story with gentle prompts. You can walk your own path alongside her.
Throughout the book, you'll find space to journal, room to capture your moments of grace, and pages at the back for writing, sketching, or collaging the journey back to yourself.
This memoir is for someone who is experiencing the loss of a loved one. For women who've spent years caring for everyone else. For anyone who feels a hunger to slow down, to discover that beauty still exists in loss and reclaim the wholeness that has always been hers.
Healing isn't about returning to who you were. It's about discovering who you are now.
Take a walk with Lynne.
After my Dad passed, I found myself walking Arizona desert trails every morning before sunriseānot knowing those walks would teach me that our deepest losses can become our greatest teachers.
Lynne Marie Jenrow spent decades putting her creative dreams on hold, journaling since age 12, photographing since age 18, but convinced she had to be practical first. In her 40s, she discovered Nia movement and taught dance classes outdoors and in studios, finally living true to her heart. But even then, she stepped away from what she loved, choosing the responsible path of administrative work and running a virtual assistant business. When her father died three years ago, grief sent her walking the Tucson Mountains every morning and sometimes in the evening. Those desert trails, surrounded by ancient saguaros she'd lived near since age eight, taught her something unexpected: our deepest losses can reveal the most profound grace. The walking didn't just heal her grief. It showed her she was done putting dreams on hold. Now she rises with the sun to journal with her coffee, tends her desert garden, and writes because it's now like oxygen for her. Through her Substack Flourish & Flow: A Wanderer's Lens and Letters and Wanderers Lens Press, she shares the beauty that emerges when we stop resisting our true desires. Her memoir, Grief Walk: Finding Grace, is for anyone who needs permission to discover they are so much more than their grief.
