How I can help: The Grief Recovery Method ®
I offer individual and group approaches to personal grief recovery and healing. I also offer a group approach to helping children with loss.
Both the individual program and the group programs help with the grief related to ANY type of loss. Check out our Grief & Loss area to get an idea of the kinds of loss our programs can help you with. Your personal comfort level with individual or group work will help you to choose the path that is best for you. If you are unsure or have any questions, get in contact with me. I will help you understand the program, its benefits, how it works, and help you choose the program that is best for you. |
How it works...
The Grief Recovery Method® (individual and group) begins by identifying myths and misinformation related to grief and loss.
After this exploration, we look at ways that you currently deal with your grief and loss.
Moving forward from there, we will further personalize the work and implement the action part of the program. You will work through different activities that help you identify the losses you have experienced, their impact, and the "how to and do" of completing an incomplete relationship. You will develop a new way to approach and work with grief and loss in your life and be armed with not only a healthier view of grief and loss, but also tools you can use to heal your heart any time you experience loss.
In the Helping Children with Loss® program, we start with the same introduction and learning as the other Grief Recovery Method® programs. After you have explored and learned about grief and loss, you will learn how you can help children understand grief and loss in a healthy way. Then, the action part of the program will help you to work with a child so that s/he can complete an incomplete relationship related to loss. You will be able to empower children with a lifelong, healthy approach to grief and loss and tools they can use whenever they experience loss.

Completing a relationship
After you discover what you know about your grief and loss, the action of the Grief Recovery Method® is completing your relationship(s).
When we complete a relationship, it does not mean that the relationship ends. That is obvious in living relationships and it is also true in our relationship with someone who has died.
Completion is the action of discovering and communicating, directly or indirectly, the undelivered emotions which attach to any relationship that changes or ends.
Completing your relationship does not change your loss. It will, however, fundamentally change how you hold and carry it.
