Thick Thighs, Tattoos & Breaking Taboos: How I Lost My Brother and Found Myself Again Through Running and Advocacy


Overview

A Raw, Unflinching Look at Grief, Strength, and Starting Over For anyone carrying grief, searching for meaning, or trying to keep going when everything has fallen apart. When Jen Hoye lost her brother Teddy to suicide, her world shattered. In the years that followed, she turned to writing, running, humor, and unfiltered advocacy to crawl her way out of the fog. Along the way, she found purpose in the miles, power in the storytelling, and community in the people who showed up to remember and fight beside her. This isn't a self-help book. It's a brutally honest memoir about grief, sibling loss, mental health, and the unexpected ways running helped one woman survive the unimaginable. Told with sarcasm, tenderness, and zero sugarcoating, this is a book for grief warriors, sibling loss survivors, suicide loss survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone trying to make sense of life after loss. This intensely personal memoir might make you cry, laugh, feel seen, or finally exhale. If you've lost someone you love, if you've ever felt like a misfit in your grief, or if you're still figuring out how to carry the weight, you are not alone.

Reviews

""Jen Fusco Hoye tells it exactly like it is-with humor, heartbreak, and unflinching honesty. This book made me feel seen and heard in ways I didn't expect. One moment I was laughing out loud, the next I was in tears. It's not a self-help book, and it still helps-through raw truth, beautifully told stories, and the powerful reminder that we're not alone. Jen's voice is fierce, funny, deeply personal, and refreshingly unapologetic. This isn't just a book about grief-it's a rally cry for advocacy, connection, and breaking the silence around suicide loss."" Caro Brookings, suicide bereavement coach and author of Hope: Rewiring Your Brain After Suicide Loss ""Jen is running for her brother, Teddy, she is running for herself, and she is running for the communal, overwhelming agony of those who have lost loved ones to suicide just as she has, dedicating her last healing mile to each and every one of them. Along her path of advocacy, strangers become confidants of their shared pain. Determined to transform the alchemy of her profound grief into action, Jen's perseverance rescued her from her doldrums. Her mission is to do the same for others in similar distress. Her memoir is so engrossing, I felt I was running stride for stride beside her on every page. You will as well! Her powerful quest, step by step, word by word, and your journey as the reader of her book are both well worth taking."" Michael Cloherty, author of Abel Bodied: Murder at the Malden Bank
