Weaving Happiness Through Grief with Stephanie Duran

Welcome to Weaving Happiness Through Grief. Hi, I’m Stephanie, your host. I’m a mother of two, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a runner, a world traveler, and a storyteller. But there’s one title I never imagined carrying: widow. In each episode, we’ll explore the complexities of a terminal diagnosis, the profound experience of loss, the often-controversial conversation around dignified dying, and the courageous journey of rediscovering happiness—even in the depths of grief. Before I lost the love of my life, we often spoke about sharing our journey—the soaring highs, the heart-wrenching lows, and everything in between. This podcast is born from that vision. Beyond my personal story, I am also a retired attorney, entrepreneur and a certified ‘Grief to Gratitude’ Coach. Having built and successfully sold my business in California before relocating to Australia, I know firsthand the resilience required to navigate life’s biggest transitions—both in business and in personal loss. My hope
