In the Face of Catastrophe: How a Traumatic Brain Injury Became a Blessing
The Gift of Presence
When a stroke leaves Jenn comatose and clinging to life just days before her thirty-first birthday, she and her family face an overwhelming and painful journey. As they struggle to grasp what happened, to move forward and heal, they discover an unexpected gift: how to be present in times of uncertainty while holding onto hope and the power of family and community to sustain them through these challenging times.
Structured as diary entries, this poignant memoir shares memories from each family member as they walk together through this profoundly life-changing event, grapple with grief, and learn to look for silver linings: gratitude, intentional time together, and the closeness of family and friends to help them heal. Jenn was already a motivational speaker and professional advocate for wellness and self-care before her stroke, and now she and her family share a very personal and intimate time of their lives in the hope that those who are struggling with similar experiences of loss and change will find connection, solace, and the courage to overcome even the greatest challenges.

About the Author

Before her stroke, Jennifer Rose Goldman, a 2013 graduate of Skidmore College with a joint degree in religion and philosophy, founded and served as CEO of Essential Rose, an aromatherapy beauty brand that she started in her college dormitory room. Essential Rose packaged and sold teas and skin-care products for inner, rather than outer, beauty. A motivational speaker on wellness and self-care, she created her own content and taught a six-week course called “Lead Your Life.” Jenn is passionate about all things spiritual and loves discovering any new modalities she can immerse herself in.

Caryn Meg Hirshleifer is a co-owner of Hirshleifers, a highly successful fifth-generation luxury retail business located in Manhasset, New York, where she serves as general counsel as well as in the self-described roles of store historian, store philosopher, and staff nurturer. Before that, she worked as an attorney in New York City government, including her time as general counsel to the New York City Fire Department and, before that, as general counsel to Mayor Koch’s Office of Homelessness. When not at work, Caryn is reading, writing, or practicing riffs on her electric Fender Mustang bass guitar.
