Aloha! Welcome to the Grief and Happiness podcast. My name is Emily Thiroux Threatt, and I am your host. I am the author of Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief, The Grief and Happiness Handbook, and creator of Grief and Happiness Cards: Gentle Support for Dealing with Grief and Finding Happiness
My purpose with the Grief and Happiness Podcast is to demonstrate to people who are dealing with grief and loss that they can grieve and be happy at the same time. The wide variety of guests address the myriad of issues that arise with loss and the spectrum of how grief and happiness relate. After a loved one dies, often people say they will never be happy again. By covering thought-provoking topics like creativity, compassion, community, purpose, inner peace, strength, coping, surrendering, and resilience with authors, speakers, coaches, and friends, listeners find inspiration and confidence guiding them on their grief journey. Each week the podcast showcases an interview with an inspiring guest and an additional brief podcast with a message of support and comfort.
Anyone dealing with grief or loss can come to the Grief and Happiness podcast to find comfort, support, love, and happiness. You are welcome here to learn ways to live your best life.

Relearning To Enjoy Life, One Blink at A Time with Cheryl Tsieprati
Grief & Happiness
09/19/23 • 23 min
For many people, getting diagnosed with a degenerative disease is enough to keep them from living their lives. They stop going out, traveling, having fun, and doing the things they love, consumed by the idea that their role now is to wait for the inevitable. Some people, on the other hand, do the exact opposite.
In this episode, I'm joined by the extraordinary Cheryl Tsieprati, co-author of "One Blink At At Time," a book she co-authored with her late husband, Ismael Tsieprati, in which they alternate between chapters to share their experiences as they went through Ismael's fight with ALS. Cheryl worked for 40 years in the healthcare industry and has over 25 years of experience in training, consulting, instructional design, writing, and editing. As a journalist, she received an Associated Press, Western Region award for her work on the "Retailing in the '80s" newspaper series. Cheryl also gives presentations, sharing her story and teaching people how to live a happy and meaningful life despite adversity.
Throughout our conversation, you'll hear Cheryl's fantastic story of resilience and insistence in enjoying life despite seeing her husband struggle with a degenerative disease. Cheryl also talks about how she found out about Ismael's condition by accident, explains the meaning behind the book's name, talks about the importance of focusing on living to the fullest and enjoying life despite the circumstances, and more.
Tune in and listen to episode 166 of Grief and Happiness, and find out why sometimes happiness is purely a matter of perspective.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- Cheryl talks about her determination to visit Ismael's favorite places (4:10)
- Why most people pause their lives after they get diagnosed with a degenerative disease (7:00)
- Cheryl shares the story of how she found out about Ismael's condition (11:00)
- Rows of letters. A new way of communicating (15:30)

Are you ready to allow grief in your life?
In this episode together, I'm joined by a true light in the world and Empress of Aging, Sue Patton Thoele. Sue is an "Emeritus-Most-Everything," Public Speaker, Seminar Leader, former Hospice Chaplain and Psychotherapist, and the Author of 13 beautiful books. After an unsatisfactory reading of a self-help book, Sue casually commented: "If I ever write a book, I'm going to make it practical." A few months later, Sue's first book, "The Courage To Be Yourself," was published, and it was a landmark for a beautiful, prolific, and fulfilling new stage of her life.
Throughout this episode, Sue shares her thoughts on grieving as an act of surrendering and how allowing it into our lives naturally and organically heals it. We also talk about the common mistake of grieving failures and things we regret not doing, the importance of paying attention to our needs, and taking good care of ourselves while grieving.
We also discuss the modern world's lack of empathy, how messy grief can be, grief as an incubator for compassion, and much more.
Tune in and listen to episode 162 of Grief and Happiness to learn from Sue's particular views on life, grief, happiness, and purpose.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
