"Writing this book has brought me a privileged view not only of grief in its entirety but how we react as humans when processing loss,” he says.
“There’s the value of grief which differs from one person to the next, then vitally, there’s what we personally add to it or what the grief combines with, that ultimately decides which journey through grief we experience."
Jeff – who is now a qualified life coach – has been giving fans an update of his book project over the past few weeks telling fans on Twitter how proud he is to write the volume.
“Proud of my Chapter on the afterlife written today 10 down, 36 to go! Pressures on to get it all done by March,” he wrote on January 9.
He has also been turning to fans for assistance with some topics, asking fans earlier this month: “About to write the next chapter of #GTSG 'What bereaved children want/need from a step-parent' Any views/experience on this please.”
With the news of his book being announced on Thursday, he wrote: “Privileged to be the holding the responsibility for the clear and honest translation of all things bereavement.”
Jade and Jeff welcomed their eldest son, Bobby, in 2003, with Freddie born the following year.
The single dad frequently keeps fans updated on both lads on social media with a recent snap on Instagram showing them watching football together at home.
