Janice Jensen

After the heartbreaking loss of her young son, Janice Jensen embarked on a courageous journey through grief, trauma, and eventual healing. She worked as a teacher in Syria, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Oregon, and Washington and authored Literature-Based Learning and I Love Library Books. Decades of exploration and solo travel in seventy countries gave Jensen valuable insight into overcoming tragedy from people coping with loss. Her memoir One Ripple at a Time lays bare her honest and life-affirming story and offers the best of her wisdom. Today, she lives in Oregon and volunteers to give grief recovery support and share comfort and resilience for a joyful, beautiful life.
