EILEEN BELLEW Author of AFTER JOHN JUMPED Widow of FDNY FF JOHN BELLEW L27 Black Sunday
Q: How has therapy helped you and your family?
Therapy provided a steady foundation; it helped me manage anxiety, guided my parenting under pressure, and showed my children that seeking help is normal, which has kept our family connected and resilient.
EILEEN BELLEW Author of AFTER JOHN JUMPED Widow of FDNY FF JOHN BELLEW L27 Black Sunday
Q: What was it like to confront the media attention during and after the funeral?
The media attention was overwhelming and often intrusive; I wanted to protect my kids and ensure the focus remained on honoring John rather than turning the tragedy into sensational coverage.
EILEEN BELLEW Author of AFTER JOHN JUMPED Widow of FDNY FF JOHN BELLEW L27 Black Sunday
Q: How did you decide to write about everything you experienced?
I started journaling after years of memory collection, realizing the trauma affected not just me but my children, and that a book could help other widows and first responders understand grief, resilience, and the long timeline of healing.
