Live and Die Awake
For groups and organizations

Comfort
your group.

Copies of Live and Die Awake for a team, a congregation, a care staff, or a community. The companion library is free inside every one of them, and Julie can be in the room.

Tell us about your group

Group copies are quoted to the group. Tell us the size, the shape and the date you are working toward, and we come back with options, a fulfillment window, and a straight answer.

What lands in every person's hands

One book, and everything printed inside it.

The same object for everyone in the room, so the group is reading one thing and not five different editions of it.

01

A copy for everyone

The floor, not the ceiling. Group copies are fulfilled off Amazon, for the reason below.

02

The companion library, at no extra cost

Every copy has the QR codes printed inside it. Twenty guided meditations and thirty reflection pauses in Julie's own voice, free with the book, for every person in the group.

20

guided meditations,
in Julie’s own voice.

The QR codes are printed inside every copy, so the recordings travel with the book and cannot go missing. 30 reflection pauses sit alongside them. Everyone in the group keeps all of it, for as long as they want it, without giving anybody a card number.

And for whoever has to run it

Somebody has to open the first meeting.

Usually a chaplain, a volunteer coordinator, or the one person on staff who read it first. What that person needs is not more books.

03

Something for whoever is leading

A guide for the person running the discussion, sized to the group and drawn from the book's own reflection pauses.

04

Julie in the room, or on the call

In person or virtual. A talk, a workshop, or a conversation with the group after they have read it.

05

Something built for a larger organization

Multiple sites, a rolling intake, a training cohort. Tell us the shape and we will answer it directly.

Who this is for

Any room where more than one person is carrying something.

Grief in a room full of people is usually a room full of people each managing it alone.

Hospices and palliative teamsStaff and volunteers who sit with the dying, and rarely get anything written for them.
Grief counselors and their traineesA first-person account of the year after, from someone who then went and got trained.
Congregations and chaplainciesFor the people a community turns to when someone dies, and for the community around them.
Workplaces after a deathA colleague, a founder, a whole team's worth of people who do not know what to say on Monday.
Boards, staff, and volunteer bodiesWhere an organization has decided that grief literacy is part of how it operates.
Book circles and support groupsA group already meeting, looking for the next thing to read together.

Two places this is already part of how an organization operates.

Not a client list, and not a claim about anyone’s book order. These are the footholds, and they are the only evidence of that kind this page has.

Empath Tidewell Health
A hospice literacy partnership for continuing education in Sarasota.
Blue Butterfly Children's Grief Care
Grief support for children five to eighteen who have lost their person. Julie volunteers there. Four centers, and counting.
How it works

Three steps, and no charge in any of them.

A bulk order is not ten orders placed at once. Amazon will not package a hundred books and ship them to one address, so group copies go through a fulfillment partner and are quoted to the group. That is why this page opens a conversation rather than a cart: the number of copies, the date you are working toward and whether you want Julie in the room all change the answer, and a table of tiers would only get one of them right.
