Listen Later

Join us for an intimate and heartwarming exploration of Jess Ronne's journey, through widowhood to a blended family with a special needs child.

Jess's story began with the devastating loss of her husband, leaving her to raise her their children alone while navigating the difficult process of grief. In the midst of the challenges, Jess found Ryan, also a widower and a father with grieving children of his own.


The two families blended together, facing the complexities of step-parenting; and parenting a special needs child with determination and grace. Jess's memoir, "Blended with Grit and Grace," shares the honest and poignant journey of their family's growth and the love that binds them together.


Jess's story serves as a reminder that love can come in many forms, and even amidst grief and difficulty, there can be hope for a brighter future. Through her courage and resilience, she inspires us to embrace the twists and turns of life and to cherish the relationships we hold dear.


Jess is CEO of The Lucas Project https://thelucasproject.org/about/ and advocates for families and caregivers for people with special needs.
