2. Having lost his youngest son, Shawn Michael Megahan, to an accident at a
church choir picnic, John “TC” Megahan was inspired to change his life’s
work from his ministry as a Pastor and Chaplain, to helping others who
would come to know the pain of losing a child. John “TC” Megahan now
spends a large portion of his time working with parents and others impacted
directly by a child’s death, as well as educating specialists who work
regularly with those whose children have died.
John “TC” Megahan’s candid yet gentle guidance, combined with his
personal experience and wonderful sense of humor, lends itself whole-
heartedly to reaching into the hearts and minds of those in need, leaving
them with the hope and tangible knowledge of how to go on, how to help
someone else go on, and what specifically does and does not work.
He has also created a wide variety of support tools so that everyone will
have something from which to choose that will help them continue making
that journey–knowing they are never alone.
Testimonials
“I am so appreciative of the commitment that TC has shown serving in a very difficult field. I
really think it is a testament to the power of his faith and his passion of helping others in grief. My
family would have continued to struggle if it wasn’t for his guidance and help”.
– Stephen, Father of 4 who lost his wife to cancer
“When I needed somebody most, TC was there. No school is prepared for the deal of a student or
a staff member, but our school faced both of these situations in less than 3 weeks. TC responded
immediately and began to meet with the staff members, parents and students. His honest and
transparent approach was just what we needed. Our school is stronger and better prepared to
help others because of his training and counseling”.
– Mark, Private School Headmaster
“We just finished with the planning and preparation of our Crisis Response plan, and now
everyone can sleep a little better knowing that we have a plan and we know what to do in the
event of an emergency”. It was easier than we thought and worth the time and effort.
– Caroline, Business Owner
