Phoenix
Alongside Scott, she went to see her parents where she revealed herself to be a Mutant and her transformation into the Phoenix. (X-Men v1 #109) Two years ago, her sister came to also learn about her mutation and was worried about whether her own children were Mutants. (Bizarre Adventures v1 #27)
Resurrection
She was resurrected by the Phoenix who created a pocket of reality that resembled Jean Grey's home town and people from her life with her being a waitress at a diner. Jean was subsumed in this reality and unaware of events around her as she came to believe herself to be a normal person. This was until Old Man Logan went in and killed one of her friends in the diner which was actually a manifestation of the Phoenix that was masquerading as a human. Upon regaining her memory, she confronted the Phoenix Force and rejected the power it was giving her. This led to Jean convincing it that her and its path were not the same with the cosmic entity reluctantly agreeing with her decision. Thus, it departed Earth and gave Jean Grey a new lease of life on Earth with her being among the X-Men once again. (Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey v1 #5)
