Fragile by Jen Hawley
"Fragile" paints ten musical portraits of grief without losing sight of our hopes and longings. The songs reflect not only Jen's journey through the grieving process, but also the unique stories of her friends, family members and neighbors who have also gone through their own difficult losses.
Two years ago, Jen’s father’s health began to decline from a rare blood disease. By December 2022, he passed away at age 86. Even before his passing, Jen began the grieving process, knowing that one day he would say goodbye to this earthly journey.
