Download Your Free Healing After Loss Guide

With over five years of experience companioning others in grief, Terri believes that healing begins not with fixing, but with feeling. Her work is not about offering quick solutions or rushing through sorrow. It 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 approach to grief support is rooted in presence and trust. She listens with her heart, not just her ears. This companioning model, one of walking beside rather than leading or pushing, is central to everything she does. Whether in private sessions, community workshops, or conversations sparked by her writing, she offers a steady presence, a soft place to land, and a reminder that you do not have to go through it alone. Terri has had the privilege of co-authoring the best-selling book Unstoppable and sharing her voice in various publications. Yet the deepest honor comes in the quiet moments when someone allows her into their grief. When they cry. When they reflect. When they trust her enough to let their guard down. Terri believes in the possibility of healing, not by forgetting or getting over it, but by learning how to carry both the love and the loss forward. As a Grief Companion & Educator, Terri also teaches others how to walk beside the grieving through her accredited certification programs. These programs reflect the same heart-centered, presence-based philosophy that guides her own work. It is a sacred privilege for her to walk beside someone in their grief, to witness their heartache, and to remind them that even in the midst of sorrow, they are never alone.
