Till Death Do Us Part

Life without Jock and learning to live with intention





An intimate journey through love, loss, parenting through grief and finding the strength to move forward.

It is difficult to take myself back to the beginning, and even more difficult to share such a private time in my life. But I will. It's how I will find meaning from the loss, from the universe robbing the kids and me of an extraordinary father and husband, by paying it forward to you.

In this deeply personal and heartfelt memoir, Lauren Zonfrillo details her journey through grief after the sudden and public loss of her husband, Jock – chef, restaurateur and, of course, beloved MasterChef Australia judge. Thrust into the role of a solo parent, with the overwhelming task of guiding her young children through their grief while managing her own, Lauren has also had to navigate the weight of public expectations and intense media scrutiny.

Lauren shares her path through this devastating time, including missteps, moments of despair and eventual steps towards healing. More than just a compelling read and a look behind the headlines, this book will provide solace to others trying to find their way through loss. And from the first page to the last, Jock is there.

Part memoir, part handbook for grief, with a love story at its core, Till Death Do Us Part is a powerful and unputdownable read.
