Chapter 02The Book
Live and Die Awake
On Love, Loss, and Living Fully
“Read it with your heart open and your hand on your own life. Live and Die Awake is the rare grief book that meets you exactly where you are.”
Julie Wright HalbertNovember 4, 2026
My soul did not break. It cracked wide open.
At 3:33 on a Thursday afternoon, my husband Jim took his last breath. Our sons each held one of his hands. My hands rested on his knees. We let him go together.
Our family has numerous pictures Jim took at 3:33 p.m. on his watch and the numbers 33 or 333 on buildings and numerous physical locations.

Praise for Live and Die Awake
Claire Bidwell Smithone of today’s foremost experts on grief and international author of five books, including Conscious Grieving and Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief“Read it with your heart open and your hand on your own life. Live and Die Awake is the rare grief book that meets you exactly where you are.”
Tina Powersinternational evidential medium and author of Reporting for the Other Side“Live and Die Awake is an extraordinary book and must-read for all of us as we navigate this earth life and the worlds beyond. As an evidential medium, I had the honor of sitting with Julie and relaying messages from her beloved husband, Jim, who validated he was still around her, navigating from a higher frequency. His love, awareness of things happening in present time, helped bridge the feeling of loss into a knowing that love stays . . . always. Julie Wright Halbert has written a masterpiece . . . a guide for us all. I am in awe.”
Sara Connellbest-selling author of The Download and founder of Thought Leader MediaSara Connell is Julie’s book strategist, and Julie is enrolled in one of her programs.“For too long, death has been feared, and we’ve lived in avoidance of the great universal experience we will all face. The cost: being fully alive. Once in a while, a teacher arrives who can lead us to a new paradigm. Julie Wright Halbert, an emerging national voice in grief literacy, is that leader. Striking on the page, actionable in the hands, and sacred in the heart, Live and Die Awake is a blueprint, a balm, and the beginning of a global movement whose time has come.”
Rick Reynolds, CCHTtransformational soul coach, Sedona Soul Adventures“Some books inform. Some books comfort. A rare few transforms. Live and Die Awake is one of those rare books. Julie Wright Halbert writes with the authority of someone who has stood at the intersection of profound love and profound loss and found a deeper truth waiting on the other side. Her story is deeply personal, yet the lessons are universal. She reminds us that grief is not something to conquer or escape. It is something to be honored, understood, and ultimately integrated into a life lived fully.”
Carol Look, LCSWfounding EFT master and best-selling author of The Yes Code and Yes, Thank You“Live and Die Awake is a profound testament to love, choices, and thriving after loss. Through her candid and raw story, thought-provoking meditations, and reflection invitations, Julie Wright Halbert allows readers the space to explore their unique stories of grief, divine connections, and the continuity of energy.”
Barry Koch and Jason ZamerTGBeyond’s co-producers of A Butterfly Has Been ReleasedTheir documentary screens at Julie’s launch evening, with Barry Koch there in person.“In Live and Die Awake, Julie Wright Halbert shows us that the deepest grief and the fullest living are born from the same place—a heart courageous enough to remain open after unimaginable loss.”
