Words from Our Community
From those walking through grief, and those learning to walk beside others
Terri helped me work through the grief of losing my mother and other family members. At the same time I realized I was grieving so much more in my life. Working through that grief with her changed my life. I'm now thriving like never before. Grief can be so much more than death and she helped me discover that. She listened to my every word and helped me realize things I had no idea about myself. I'll be forever grateful. If I could give her 100 stars I would.

I started grief support coaching back in September with Terri, who has experienced the loss of a child. I 100% believe she was divinely sent to me for help. I knew that I couldn't do it alone and wanted someone who knew exactly what I was feeling and going through. I absolutely love her for ALL she has done and continues to help me through this healing journey. Thank you Terri for allowing me to feel all the emotions that I'm experiencing and giving me the courage to step forward.

If you are looking for Grief Coaching, look no further. I went through a tough divorce and was grieving the death of a marriage. She's helped me see that I am worthy, I deserve happiness, and how to stand up for myself. I have built confidence and inspired people around me. Having someone believe in you and remind you that anything is possible, that's priceless. Terri's story in itself is an inspiration. Forever thankful!!

Terri became the person I could open up to and talk to after the loss of my son, which has been the most difficult life event ever. She is absolutely amazing and has a way of processing grief that helped me move past so much — guilt, shame, anger, and fear. She helped me look at my grief in a way that challenged my perception about where I was stuck in grief, sadness, and depression. Her workbook continues to help me through the journey of processing my feelings and digging deeper.

I had been feeling called to include grief coaching to my end of life work for some time. It was something I was putting off until I was confronted with my own devastating loss. The timing, the support from Terri, and the content was exactly what I needed to step into this role. I feel confident in my abilities to hold space for grief and create a non-judgmental environment for healing. The ongoing support from Terri and the community she's creating has been an added gift.
I'm so grateful I took the plunge. Terri's class gave me powerful insights and practical tools that will stay with me for a lifetime. Her lessons were clear, well-structured, and deeply impactful. Despite earning a degree, I truly didn't feel ready to fully support clients in their grief until I took her course. Now, I feel confident, equipped, and inspired. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Just what I was looking for! As an End of Life Doula, this course was perfect to add to my training and education. The course was self-paced — great for those with busy lives — yet Terri was always accessible to answer questions and connect with. While I have worked with widows in my community for years, having my Master Grief Coaching certification just adds to the way I can help and coach others along their path. Thank you Terri!

Finding Terri has been such a blessing. She has helped me so much with the grief I've been trying to deal with from losing my husband of almost 50 years together. She's given me so much inspiration, insight, and tools to help me navigate this painful journey. She is truly amazing. I highly recommend her. Thank you Terri — I look forward to our next meeting.

Meet Your Grief Companion & Educator
Terri Chaplin brings warmth, wisdom, and years of experience to this transformational work. As an accredited grief companion and educator, certified in advanced grief support and heart focused techniques, she has gently walked alongside hundreds of people in the depths of grief, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of balance through understanding, compassion, and lived experience.
Her calling was born from personal loss and experiences that revealed how deeply grief care needs more humanity, presence, and heart. After the deaths of her first husband and her son, Terri witnessed how easily the sacredness of grief can be lost in transactional systems. Those moments became the spark that guides her mission today: to help families, professionals, and communities bring compassion back to the center of care.
Terri’s work is about holding space gently and patiently, without judgment. She witnesses grief in all its rawness and stays present with it, honoring each person’s pain as sacred and deeply personal. Her methods are grounded in deep listening and simple, meaningful tools that meet each person right where they are, creating room for healing to unfold naturally.
