Gratitude Through Grief

from Friends from Wild Places · host Shireen Botha/Tanya Scotece ft Terri Chaplin

What if grief wasn’t a problem to fix but a love you learn to carry? We sit down with Terri, a certified grief companion and founder of Living in Gratitude with TLC and the Healing Hearts community, to trace how personal tragedy became a blueprint for accessible, human-centered support. From the private magic of one-to-one sessions to the brave choice to show up daily online as a mother who lost a child and a widow who rebuilt, Terri shows how visibility invites others to speak, be seen, and find steadier ground.Terri ChaplinWebsite: https://www.myhealingheartscommunity.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/terri.chaplin/Email: [email protected]: +1 301-481-1291LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresa-terri-chaplin-54043352/We also face a harder truth: how funeral care can go wrong when families meet upsells and cold scripts at their most fragile hour. Terri shares experiences that felt transactional and dehumanizing, then offers a path forward with her compassionate communication training for funeral professionals, clinicians, teachers, and anyone likely to meet a grieving person. Clear language, gentle pacing, and small acts of care turn a harrowing process into dignified support. Listeners leave with a practical toolkit: ask better questions, act without being prompted, make space for names and stories, and remember that presence is the service.Join us as we support Kitchen Table Conversations this month!If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who could use a softer landing today.
