In this episode of Maple and Myrrh, Teri sit's down with Miel, a Jewish woman whose life has been shaped by deep love, profound loss, and a lifelong bond with horses.
After recently losing her husband, Miel opens up about walking with grief, what death has taught her, and how she's finding her way through the tender terrain of mourning with honesty, ritual, and connection to the natural world.
This conversation holds space for the realities of dying, the mysteries of what comes after, and the sacredness of bearing witness to it all. Miel shares what it means to stay soft in a world that asks us to be strong.
Together, we talk about the quiet ways we keep going, connection to nature, and the sacredness of everyday life—especially when it falls apart.
If you’ve ever faced death, loved someone who’s dying, or wondered how to live more honestly in the face of loss—this episode is for you.
This conversation is about what remains when everything changes, and how we find ourselves again, piece by piece, with gentleness and grace.
