When the Music Restarts: Finding Life After Caregiving, Loss, and Transition
- Michelle R. Jones
- Navigating Life & Life Transitions
There’s something sacred about silence. But, there’s also something terrifying.
When I wrote my first book, The Day The Music Stopped, I was writing through the heartache of caregiving and the quiet that followed losing my mother. I shared the weight, the worry, the weariness — and the love that somehow carried me through it all. It was raw, real, and incredibly vulnerable. And your response? It told me I wasn’t alone.
But, what no one talks about is what comes after:
After the role reversal.
After the caregiving ends.
After the grief softens — but doesn’t quite go away.
After the silence settles in.
That’s where When the Music Restarts was born. This new book isn’t just a continuation of my story — it’s a guide for what comes next. A bridge between survival and renewal. A roadmap for rediscovering who you are now… and how to move forward without guilt, shame, or confusion.
When the Music Restarts is a faith-based, strategy-filled guide for navigating life after caregiving, loss, or personal transition. Whether you're an adult daughter or son, part of the Sandwich Generation, or simply someone picking up the pieces after a hard season — this book was written for you.
