Kim B. Jones: Your Guide from Grief to Grace
Kim B. Jones didn't set out to become a bridge between worlds. She was a teacher, a mother, a woman navigating her own grief after losing her father. But 29 years after his passing, everything changed. In the stillness of meditation, his message came through—clear, loving, unmistakably him. Kim wrote down every word, and that love letter transformed her grief in ways nothing else had been able to.
It was a heart-to-heart connection that validated what she'd always hoped: love transcends time and space. Love never, ever dies.
From that moment, Kim's life shifted. Messages began arriving for family members aching to hear from loved ones, for friends searching for signs, for strangers who needed to know their beloveds were still present. Each letter carried comfort, wisdom, and the reassurance that death changes nothing about love.
Today, Kim holds a Master of Arts in Education and is a certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist and End-of-Life Doula. She is the creator of the holistic SMILE approach (Story, Mindfulness, Ignite Your Heart, Let Go, Embrace Your Whole Self). She is the author of Open Up Your Soul's SMILE, The SMILE Exploration Guide, and ENCORE: Forty Lessons and One Encore of Love from a Soul Who Became Our Teacher.
Through her work with Your Heart Story LLC, Kim guides people from grief to grace, offering grief recovery coaching, end-of-life support, love letters from departed loved ones, the holistic SMILE approach, and speaking engagements on self-awareness and grief.
Her philosophy is simple:
Drop the ego. Pick up love.
Kim lives in the Midwest with her family, where she continues to help others transform their grief into purpose, their pain into presence, and their sorrow into their most meaningful encore.
