In this touching episode of Tendrils of Grief, we sit down with Molly, founder of Birthdays from Beyond, to explore the healing power of preserving love and memories in the face of loss.

When Molly’s father was diagnosed with cancer, she was struck by the painful realization that he wouldn't be there to celebrate future birthdays with her. Wanting to hold onto his presence, she gave him a stack of blank cards and asked him to write birthday messages for the years to come. That beautiful and emotional gesture inspired her to create Birthdays from Beyond, a heartfelt way for people to stay connected with their loved ones even after they’ve passed.

Molly shares how this act of love became a mission—to help others capture meaningful messages, memories, and life lessons from their parents or grandparents, allowing those words to be treasured for years to come.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How grief inspired Molly’s vision

• The importance of creating emotional keepsakes

• Navigating anticipatory loss with intention

• The legacy of love through written words

This conversation is a powerful reminder that even after loss, connection and comfort can continue in meaningful and lasting ways.

Episode Highlights

• legacy grief support

• anticipatory grief healing

• how to preserve memories after loss

• birthday letters for after death

• grief rituals and healing

• connecting with loved ones after death

• memory keepsakes for grief

• emotional healing after losing a parent

• birthdays after loss

• grief-inspired businesses

This week on Tendrils of Grief, we're joined by Jill Vyn, a Master Adult Chair Coach and compassionate empowerment guide for high-achieving women, professionals, and entrepreneurs. With a background as the co-founder and co-director of a nonprofit, Jill brings both heart and experience to her transformative coaching work.

Jill’s journey is deeply rooted in personal grief—losing her father at just six years old left her carrying a silent belief that she was unworthy of love. It wasn't until later in life, through energy healing and self-discovery, that she began to unravel that identity shaped by loss and step into her own light. Now, she helps others do the same.

In this powerful conversation, Jill shares how mindset work, inner child healing, and energy alignment can help us move beyond fear, release emotional blocks, and fully trust ourselves again. Through her intuitive and compassionate approach, she empowers others to break free from self-doubt and live a life that reflects their true worth.

Tune in for an inspiring discussion about healing, identity, and the strength found in reconnecting with who we really are.
