My 97 Grand Cherokee Laredo suddenly died the other day. I put it in reverse and everything just shut off, the engine, all electronics, etc., the battery won't charge or even jump start. I don't Know much about engines so I don't really know what to look for or what to do and I can't afford to take it to a shop. Any advice?

No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
