New Publisher Announces Third Award This Year For Book Offering Hope
To Those Dealing With Grief, Death, Suicide


Reston-based publisher Grateful Press LLC announces USA Book News Award for flagship title “Conversations With Jerry And Other People I Thought Were Dead” by speaker and self-acceptance coach Irene Kendig


Reston, Va. – Grateful Press LLC is pleased to announce that its flagship title, Conversations With Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead is a winner in the Health: Death & Dying category of the “Best Books 2010 Awards," sponsored by USA Book News, the premiere online magazine and review website for mainstream and independent publishing houses.


This is the third publishing industry award given Conversations With Jerry and Other People I Thought Were Dead. The book also garnered a Silver Medal in the same category of the 2010 Independent Publisher Book Awards, and was a Finalist in the New Age Non-Fiction category of this year’s National Indie Excellence Awards.


Subtitled “Seven compelling dialogues that will transform the way you think about dying . . . and living,” Kendig’s book is rapidly gaining recognition as an enlightening and life-affirming read that diminishes fear of dying and inspires conscious, joyous living. The book now serves as part of Kendig’s outreach as a professional speaker.


While helpful for anyone facing end-of-life issues or for those grieving the loss of a loved one, this work has taken on more timely and urgent meaning in the wake of recent suicides by teens subject to bullying. The author believes that our society’s discomfort with the subject of dying is magnified for the survivors of suicide victims.


“Suicide itself is such a cultural taboo that it puts even more pressure on those left behind to remain silent about the rollercoaster of emotions they may be experiencing,” she explains. “Religious judgment and condemnation of those who’ve committed suicide can multiply the unnecessary suffering of those who are grieving.


The 352-page softcover book retails for $19.95 USD and is available at the book’s website, conversationswithjerry.com, on Amazon.com and through booksellers.
