Gratitude is a word that gets used a lot, but when you’re grieving, navigating loss or trying to conceive, it can feel like an impossible concept.

At TWGGE, we believe gratitude isn’t about pretending to be OK, forcing yourself to “look on the bright side”, or telling yourself to be thankful for what you have. That kind of thinking often leads to shame, guilt, or that familiar feeling of being misunderstood.

That’s why we’re so proud to share this special video series created for our community by the wonderful Charla Grant – founder of The Grateful Hearts Club, creative wellbeing coach and a fellow warrior who has walked her own path through grief, loss and healing.

Through these short and heartfelt videos, Charla gently guides us through a kinder approach to gratitude. One that feels accessible, real and rooted in compassion. Whether you’re at the beginning of your healing journey or deep in the two-week wait, these videos are here to support you.

🎥 The Video Series

1. Introduction to The Grateful Hearts Club

Meet Charla and hear the story behind her work. Learn how The Grateful Hearts Club began and why gratitude became a lifeline in her darkest days.

2. Crumbs of Joy

Discover the beautiful concept of crumbs of joy – small, everyday moments that bring a flicker of comfort or light. A warm drink, birdsong, sunlight on your face – the little things that help you feel more grounded.

“When we collect these crumbs, they begin to form a biscuit – something stronger we can lean on when life feels heavy.”

3. Permission to Feel

Gratitude is not about denying pain. In this video, Charla shares why giving ourselves permission to feel all our emotions – even the difficult ones – is essential if we want to connect with gratitude honestly.

4. Gentle Ways to Find Gratitude

This final video offers simple, gentle suggestions for bringing gratitude into your day – even if only for a moment. Nothing forced, nothing heavy – just soft, nourishing practices you can make your own.

Let these videos be your gentle reminder that gratitude isn’t about getting over your grief – it’s about finding small moments of meaning within it. 💛

“Just a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. A friend gave me your book a few days after my TFMR and reading it scraped me off the emotional floor. It validated all of the contradictory emotions I was feeling and made me feel so much less alone.”

Harri, Reader of the TWGGE survival guide

“I have never felt more connected on a deeper level emotionally, more understood, validated, and respected than with this amazing group of women who sadly like myself have been through the shittest time with fertility/baby loss. “
