Grief Isn’t Just Something to Get Over

Grief doesn’t arrive with a neatly wrapped package of instructions. It crashes into your life, scattering everything you once knew. (And let’s be honest, nobody feels equipped for that level of chaos.) But what if, instead of bracing for impact, you invited it in—set a place at the table, poured it a cup of tea, and asked what it has to teach?

Welcome to Inner Travel Grief Coaching™, where we don’t just “deal” with grief and death—we hold their hands, invite them in for meaningful conversations, and find the lessons they carry. Here, emotions aren’t just felt; they’re honoured with front-row seats—healing tears, bursts of laughter, and everything in between.



Meet Your Guide on This Journey

Hi, I’m Tammy Faulds, a certified grief coach and death doula who believes grief isn’t a roadblock—it’s a trailhead. It may not be the path you’d have chosen (who would?), but it can lead to strength, clarity, and a deeper connection to life’s most meaningful moments.

I know this because I’ve been there. Cancer first pulled me into its dance at age six, and we’ve shared the floor again since. I’ve sat by the bedsides of the dying, listened to regrets whispered like secrets, and felt the heartbreak of losing friends to accidents and suicide.

Through it all, I’ve learned this: life’s shadows don’t just take—they teach.

If you’re reading this, you might be wondering: “Can I really make peace with this grief? Can I ever feel whole again?” Let me assure you, you can—and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Feeling curious? Let’s have a quick, no-pressure chat about what’s on your heart. 




Imagine Life Beyond Grief

What if grief didn’t feel like a weight dragging you down but a wave you’ve learned to ride—steady, strong, and purposeful?

  • Feel lighter and more at peace.
    Imagine waking up without the heaviness in your chest. The ache is still there, but it’s softer now, like a background hum instead of a relentless roar. You notice the sunlight filtering through the window and think, “It’s been a while since I let myself enjoy this.”

  • Discover meaning and joy, even in the hardest moments.
    Picture yourself laughing at a memory that used to bring tears—a burst of joy sneaking in like an old friend you didn’t expect. (Spoiler alert: this is when you realize you’re not just surviving—you’re living again.)

  • Connect more deeply to yourself and those you love.
    Envision sharing your story without fear of judgment or awkward silence. You feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Conversations with your loved ones deepen, not because you’ve forgotten the pain, but because you’ve embraced it as part of your story.


 

Embracing Grief Is Embracing Life

Grief and death deserve a seat at life’s table, right next to joy and celebration. (And yes, this even invites dinner conversations about binge-worthy shows like After Life or Fleabag, which portray grief and humour brilliantly.)

Because here’s the thing: when we demystify death, we embrace life.
