I'm Teresa Reiniger

I’m a certified grief specialist, podcast host, mother, grandmother, and compassionate companion for women navigating all forms of loss.

A Life Touched by Loss

My journey into grief work didn't begin in a classroom — it began in my own life, shaped by personal heartbreak and the quiet ache of losses that were often unseen.

I've experienced the heartbreak of two miscarriages. I’ve grieved alongside my daughters as they faced infertility and multiple pregnancy losses. I've held space for the loss of my stillborn brother when I was just 11. Most recently, my family and I walked through my dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and death, followed by the immense loss of my mom in 2022.

Where My Calling Began

During the years I worked at a local funeral home, I became a quiet presence for grieving families. Listening. Supporting. Witnessing stories unfold in raw, sacred moments. At the same time, my own daughters were navigating the heartbreak of infertility — and as a mother, I grieved both for them and with them.

It was during those moments that I realized how much of my own grief remained unresolved — and how many women carry invisible grief that no one sees, understands, or gives them permission to feel.

That realization led to my work today — and to a calling I couldn't ignore.

Women I Walk Beside

I primarily support women navigating:

• ♡ Infertility and pregnancy loss
• ♡ Infant and child loss
• ♡ The grief that accompanies motherhood, identity, and generational trauma
• ♡ Grief from the death of parents, partners, siblings, loved ones — or divorce
• ♡ The compounding layers of grief after "expected" healing never came

Through 1:1 coaching, the Grief Recovery Method®, workshops, retreats, and the Female Voices: Life & Loss podcast, I help women feel heard, held, and whole again.

When I'm not holding space for grieving women, you'll find me soaking up life's simple joys: spending time with my husband, our daughters and their spouses, and my three miracle grandchildren — gathering around the table for dinner, playing games and cards, or simply being together.

I also love listening to live music, sipping wine with friends, and getting lost in the outdoors.

Giving back to my community is close to my heart. I'm an active member of our local Rotary Club and proudly serve as a board member for the Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) program, supporting high school seniors as they step into their future with purpose and vision.
