"Terri's book is extraordinary. I'm moved beyond words."
Melissa
Gilbert, actress, board president,
Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition
"Terri Daniel presented a wonderful workshop. Survey sheets were passed
out and she received 100% positive feedback. The only suggestion we received
(over and over) was that Terri should have been given more time for her presentation.
It truly was a workshop you could relate to no matter what your beliefs are.
Terri has a way of sharing thoughts and ideas in a manner that all can understand
and find useful in making connections with our children. We are inviting her
back to our conference for the second year in a row."
Karen
Cantrell, The Compassionate Friends,
Frankfort, KY TCF
"Terri did an outstanding job addressing our hospice volunteer training last month. She gave our volunteers valuable insights into the dying and grieving process from a parent/child perspective. It takes special volunteers to work with dying children, and the experience Terri had caring for her son during his lengthy illness has been very educational."
Jean Heister, Hospice of the Conejo
"Terri Daniel is warm and engaging, knowledgeable and well-organized. She tailored her presentation to meet our needs and working with her was a pleasure. Her presentation at our church under the sponsorship of the Unity of Corvallis Prayer Chaplain Team was entitled, "Opening the Conduit: Accessing Our Higher Selves, Intuition, Guides and Others in the Non-Physical". It was an excellent, gentle overview and exploration of practices for opening ourselves to experiencing the flow of divine energy and wisdom. Terri's ability to connect with participants encouraged open-minded exploration and lively interactive discussion. The experiential components were well-conceived and enriched the presentation. The material whetted our appetites and left participants wanting to delve deeper.
Debbie
O'Rourke, Prayer Chaplain Team Leader,
Unity of Corvallis, OR.
"As a past leader of The Compassionate Friends, I see a need for an alternative approach to grief, as many bereaved are looking for bigger answers. Terri spoke at our fundraiser and touched on various aspects of grief, and very gently led the audience into a not-much-talked-about approach… healing with meditation and connecting with a higher energy of love and peace. I watched the room shift from heavy sadness to hope and amazement. It was beautiful to see people connect with peace."
Lisa
Melaerts, past president, The Compassionate Friends,
Las Vegas chapter
"Terri Daniel was the speaker for our FOI (Friends of IANDS) monthly meeting last month. She told us about herself and how she communicates with her son Daniel from the Other Side, and led us in a guided visualization to meet a Guide. Several of our group had very vivid experiences. I would heartily recommend Terri as a speaker for metaphysical groups, and plan to ask her back to our group in the future."
Ron
Parks,
International Association for Near Death Studies
"The support of Terri Daniel and her book, A Swan in Heaven, was key to my survival after the loss of my 16 year- old son. It is ironic that the pain of dying is for the living, but for each mother and father that can bear witness that there is no death, the heavy paradigm we've all been subjected to moves up a notch in frequency."
K Paul Stoller, MD, pediatrician and bereaved father
"Working with Terri has infused me with hope as I face the impending
death of my daughter. Through guided imagery and meditation, I have begun
to explore with Kristen new ways to communicate now that she is no longer
verbal, and I hope to establish these as a foundation for continued communication
after she leaves this plane of existence. Terri has guided me toward the sacred
that abounds in this unspeakably painful journey, and gives me hope that it
will be transformative in some as yet unimaginable way."
Kim Rice, Seattle WA
"I've witnessed Terri's courage, strength, compassion, love, pain and wisdom as she's carried herself through her grief journey. She is a gifted writer and teacher, and brings profound sensitivity to her work in the community as a spiritual educator."
Lee
Green, RN, MAT
Bereavement Specialist, Covenant Hospice,
" I read A SWAN IN HEAVEN while I was visiting my dying father. I'd just finished the book when he woke in a panic because he didn't know where he was. He asked, "What's happening?" Having just read Terri's book, I knew exactly what was happening, so I told him about soul families and guides who accompany us to the other side, and he listened with great interest. He'd never been a spiritual person, but he was completely open to what I was saying. My ability to explain what he was experiencing was a gift for both of us. It put him at ease about his impending death, and now he's more curious than frightened."
Suzy Papanikolas, Hilo, HI.
"Terri brings wonderful clarity to the mysteries of life and death."
Sara Ruble
"Please know what a beautiful work it is. I have been very touched by
it and know that its message will likewise touch many others."
Richard
Groves,
author, theologian, hospice chaplain
"I've read about these topics for years, but with Terri's facilitation, it was one of the most insightful workshops that I've ever taken."
Nora San Felipe
"Terri is a great faciliator. She provides concepts, tools and hope for those of us interested in communicating with loved ones who have transitioned."
Christine Mustelier, recent widow
"My son Jake died at age 24. Terri's book has given me hope, and has proven that I need to continue to delve into this type of reading, research and inspiration."
Donna
McCain
"I loved listening to Terri and loved the book. I lost my son to suicide and now I've found him again. Terri and Danny are such an inspiration."
Carol Williamson
"Terri, your personal
insight and detail present a possibility that death need not be a terror,
but manageable, and in the best case, a friend, when it relieves one's own
suffering or another's. Yours is an experience of truth-telling, and of hope
in the valley of the shadow."
Roy Green, hospice chaplain
"Terri has given me the freedom and safety to explore my beliefs. I came from a very Christian background and still have a foot in that circle, so I am a "closet" believer in the Spirit/New Age realms. While I totally believe in them, I hesitate to share my feelings and insights for fear of judgment and being an outcast to my fundementalist friends and family. I currently home-school my children, and most of the groups connected with home school are church-based. Add to that 50+ years of being in the Christian comfort zone, and I am left with a need to learn and know more, but also retain the security of my roots. What I have learned from Terri is that I can meld the two worlds together until I am ready to come out of the closet."
