When suicide steals someone you love, the world doesn't just lose them—you lose your sense of safety, your ability to sleep, your understanding of who you are.

Urgent Soul Care is the companion you need when grief feels impossible to survive. Written by grief counselor and suicide loss survivor Jenny Baltazar, this revolutionary guide offers a radically compassionate approach to one of life's most devastating experiences.

After losing her husband Jon to suicide while caring for three young daughters, Jenny discovered that traditional grief advice—"give it time," "stay strong," "get back to normal"—wasn't just unhelpful, it was harmful. What she needed was permission to grieve fully, tools to navigate trauma, and a path forward that honored both her devastating loss and her capacity to heal.

This book is different because suicide loss is different.

Through deeply personal stories and transformative practices, Jenny guides you through the urgent moments that define suicide grief: when you can't breathe, when sleep becomes impossible, when fear takes over your body, when you feel responsible, when you need permission to grieve, when well-meaning people say all the wrong things.

You'll discover:

• How to navigate the shock and trauma of suicide loss without pathologizing your pain

• Soul care practices that calm your nervous system and restore feelings of safety

• Ways to grieve openly while caring for children or managing daily responsibilities

• How to handle the shame, guilt, and complex emotions unique to suicide loss

• Timeless approaches to grief that free you from unrealistic expectations

• Permission to feel everything—the rage, the fear, the moments of unexpected joy

• How to build connection and community when isolation feels overwhelming

Urgent Soul Care asks three things of you: be present, be patient, be kind—with yourself and others.

This isn't a book about "getting over" loss or returning to who you were before. It's about learning to walk with grief, discovering your own resilience, and finding moments of hope even in the darkest well of sorrow. It's about honoring your loved one's life while claiming your own right to heal and live fully.

Whether you lost someone yesterday or years ago, this book meets you exactly where you are. Because grief has no timeline, and your soul deserves care at every moment of this heartbreaking journey.

For anyone who has lost someone to suicide, and for those who love them.
