Meet Jeannine...

The Warrior Campaign

Meet Jeannine....

Kindly explain your battle:

A sudden loss of my baby and only son at the age of 17; no determined reason as to the cause but we are so grateful he lived. Such a loss is a lifelong struggle of pain and deep sadness but through family, friends, faith and profound support it is manageable. When suffering such a loss, no-one ever healings. Shattered hearts never completely repair but we know that he fulfilled his life purpose in profound ways. God loaned him to us and needed him back. So our job is to live fully in his place and to support others suffering by living our lives to fulfill our purpose until our life here is completed. Through all who came to me for support, countless speaking engagements on healing, coping and hope, I was encouraged to write about this journey and so I did so in 76 Feathers. This book will continually provide some guidance on how to handle extraordinary trauma and find joy once again despite carry such a heavy heart. Live by Faith, one day at a time!


What is the single most important lesson you learned from experiencing this hardship?

God will never fail to provide you what you need to live a life of purpose that He provided to each of us. We all will have suffering, how we handle it is our choice. Happiness is a choice.

What is the best way to support someone who is going through a similar situation?

Be there. Sometimes that’s all that is necessary and possible especially when one buried a child.

What is something positive that emerged as a result of your experience?

Strength I didn't know I had... extraordinary gratitude for all who are so living and supportive to this day and to live in the moment and embrace each and every one.
