“This book is a MUST READ for anyone who has lost a loved one or is seeking an honest story about what it is like to traverse the journey of grief. Jean's powerfully candid story is rich, insightful, and illuminates a truth in all our lives that is sadly unnoticed and often silenced.”
Juli Fraga, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
A mother grasps her dying son’s hand, struggling how to let go, aghast at what life will become after his death. The Last Tear is the harrowing true story of my only child James, a dynamic 17 year old who was diagnosed in San Francisco with a rare cancer, dying eleven months later on the eve of Mother’s Day, 2009. Rather than allowing cancer to define his days James became even more focused on school, college applications and his future, inspiring not only his peers but the larger community including President Obama. A crippling sorrow that paralyzed for years is shared with candor and will touch anyone who has struggled with excruciating grief. Poignant and at times difficult, The Last Tear eventually uplifts as it transcends a tale of cancer and death to embrace the larger canvas of how to live authentically with sorrow as a new companion.

Norland trained nursery nurse, Canadian born, Jean Alice Rowcliffe is passionate about the rearing of our children. For over three decades she has enriched countless lives, including the British royal family. She was nanny for the children of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, at Kensington Palace.
Making San Francisco her home since the late 1980’s, Rowcliffe had the opportunity to work with many families including Danielle Steel. Through her supportive and loving hands-on education and organization, which incorporates a common sense approach, Rowcliffe ultimately nurtures and strengthens families. She is honoured to be called affectionately, “Mary Poppins” by many of her families The irony that her only child would die on the cusp of adulthood, after dedicating her life to raising other children, is beyond mystifying.
Her next book, A Norland Nanny’s Good Parent Guide will be available in the Spring of 2014. Rowcliffe currently resides and writes in Canada.
