Gutsy Grief
PRE-ORDER OPEN NOW. SHIPS JANUARY 2026.
Gutsy Grief is about what happens when you stop trying to get over loss and start asking what it’s trying to show you.
Most grief books tell you how to heal or move on. This one asks a different question. What if loss isn’t something to fight against, but to work with?
After John Jeff Hutter's father died by suicide, he found hidden journals and letters spanning three decades. Those words became the beginning of a decade-long journey through eight portals of self-discovery. Each one revealed something about identity, honesty, and becoming.
Gutsy Grief is for anyone who's lost something that mattered and is willing to let that loss teach them. It's about choosing transformation over survival, meaning over closure, and discovering the person you couldn't have met any other way.
Loss will change you. You can let it transform you, or you can waste your energy pretending it won't.
YOU’RE NOT BROKEN. YOU’RE BECOMING.
Grief doesn’t just show up at funerals. It arrives with every change that matters .
When work, relationships, or identity start to shift, you face a choice.
Participate in your own becoming, or brace against what's already happening.
One opens you. The other just keeps you stuck.
