The Jelly Jar

About the Book

This book is a sacred offering-born not just from memory, but from my soul. It chronicles my journey of caregiving, loss, love, and the quiet miracles that unfold when we are called to show up fully for another human being. In caring for my mother during her final chapter, I came face-to-face with life’s most tender truths: the beauty of surrender, the ache of impermanence, and the quiet grace that often arrives in the hardest moments. Through grief, I discovered a deeper connection to Spirit, to my ancestors, and to the still, small voice within that whispered to me: keep going. I did not set out to write just any book. I set out to tell my truth. To remember. To honor. To heal. If these words hold space for your own losses, or reflect your own sacred caregiving path, I pray that they bring you peace, comfort, and the knowing that you are not alone. This book is for anyone who has ever held a hand through the dark and kept the light burning bright. In love and reverence, Algie D. Allen-Johnson
