We sit down with Terri, a grief companion and community builder, to unpack how showing up—consistently, vulnerably, and without polish—became the engine of a mission-driven practice. From the early days of obscurity to becoming “that grief lady” people recognize in restaurants, Terri shares the slow, human work of building trust online, the courage to speak about failure in death care, and the reason lived experience can change how a room breathes.

Our nonprofit spotlight turns to Kitchen Table Conversations, founded by Garrick Colwell, offering accessible webinars on advanced care planning and anticipatory grief. Caregivers facing dementia or terminal illness often don’t realize what they’re feeling has a name; giving them language and tools is an act of relief and dignity. We close with a grounding breath, a playful word association game, and clear ways to connect with Terri, Tanya, and Shireen. If you believe empathy should lead the way in grief, caregiving, and end-of-life planning, this conversation will feel like a steady hand on your shoulder.

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 Chaplin


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.

We open with hard questions about the oddities market, consent, and the law, then move into the steady ground of compassion as grief companion and educator Terri Chaplin joins us to share how devastating loss reshaped her life’s work.

Terri Chaplin


Terri’s story spans years of caregiving, the death of her first husband, and the sudden loss of her son—a moment that shattered what she thought healing looked like. From that breaking came a brave reimagining: leaving a decades-long corporate role, relocating for renewal, and building a heart-centered grief practice rooted in presence instead of platitudes. She walks us through the simple, powerful tools that help mourners feel safe enough to feel—grounding the nervous system, making space for emotion without timelines, and honoring continuing bonds through small, meaningful rituals.

We need to be gentle with ourselves when dealing with death and grief. It's never a perfect scenario, and there's always going to be "would have, could have, should have" thoughts. But ultimately, the person who's passed is at peace—they're doing better than those of us left behind. We need to love ourselves through the process.

Irma Parone


• Most businesses seek help when they're already in crisis mode, realizing teams lack direction or purpose
• Clear expectations are essential—many leaders think employees understand their role when there's actually a significant disconnect
• Rehabilitating struggling employees requires checking three boxes: clear expectations, proper tools/training, and genuine desire to do the work
• Some wonderful people may simply be in the wrong position, like managers who can't hold others accountable
• Remote work creates challenges for team connection—people typically stay at companies because of relationships, not abstract loyalty
• Business growth often stalls because owners fear delegating or hiring someone who won't meet their standards
• Cross-training and development programs prepare employees for different roles, ensuring business continuity and improving retention
• Every position has value—leaders who treat all roles "like the gold they are" create environments where people thrive
• The direct supervisor is the most important person in determining employee satisfaction and success
• The ultimate goal is creating a workplace where employees say "I love this place" rather than considering other offers

• Mental Health America's LOSS team provides wraparound services including emotional support, financial assistance, and practical help with funeral arrangements
• Language matters when discussing suicide – phrases like "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide" help reduce stigma
• Asking someone directly about suicidal thoughts does not put the idea in their mind – it opens necessary communication
• If someone expresses suicidal thoughts, stay with them and contact the 988 crisis line or other emergency services
• Those bereaved by suicide face unique challenges including increased suicide risk themselves, making support groups crucial
• Small acts of kindness and support can make significant differences – you may not save everyone, but saving one person matters

His story reveals how our inner voices can either destroy or rebuild us, and why creating spaces for authentic mental health conversations saves lives.

• Embracing our unique "craziness" as potential strength rather than weakness
• Breaking down the facades we create that prevent authentic connection

Spirituality doesn't have to be confined to organized religion, and the teachings of figures like Jesus Christ can bring richness to our lives. Together, we discuss the serenity that meditation offers, advocate for self-care as a daily practice, and remind you to cherish life's little joys—whether that's fresh flowers or the comfort of a pet like Rolo, who joins us after her recent recovery. 

We welcome you to connect with us and other listeners, sharing your own stories and strategies that have guided you through life's hurdles. Your voice is an integral part of this conversation, and we can't wait to hear it.

These tools aren't just for those seeking peace; they're stepping stones for anyone on the path to personal fulfillment, aiming to inspire you to nurture your well-being and grow from within.

Shireen Botha


Spirituality doesn't have to be confined to organized religion, and the teachings of figures like Jesus Christ can bring richness to our lives. Together, we discuss the serenity that meditation offers, advocate for self-care as a daily practice, and remind you to cherish life's little joys—whether that's fresh flowers or the comfort of a pet like Rolo, who joins us after her recent recovery. 

We welcome you to connect with us and other listeners, sharing your own stories and strategies that have guided you through life's hurdles. Your voice is an integral part of this conversation, and we can't wait to hear it.

Tanya opens up about her biggest challenges, how her verb is to inspire others and to live in the moment. She does exactly that every day.
