Episode 48: In a Better Place? with Lorna Vyse

In a Better Place? The mystifying words we use to describe death — and how they can fail the grieving.

Lorna Vyse missed a moment — a child in grief, and she didn’t see it. She chided herself for not being clued in, and that regret stayed with her. Add to that a chance encounter and a promise to a dying woman, and Lorna’s second life purpose was born.

Now an author, grief trainer and speaker, Lorna is on a mission to help us stop sugar-coating death. From “passed” to “gone to sleep” to “in a better place,” the euphemisms we use to avoid talking about death don’t help — especially not for children.

This is a conversation about missed chances, keeping your word, and the healing power of speaking plainly when it matters most.
