Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist helping people move beyond loss and regain energy and spontaneity

The Grief Recovery Method Approach

I believe that grief is not a problem to be solved, but incomplete recovery from grief can have a lifelong negative effect on your capacity for happiness. As someone who has experienced personal grief and is trained in the Grief Recovery Method, I've learned that recovery doesn't mean "getting over" your loss—it means learning to complete the unfinished emotional business that grief creates and taking specific actions to move beyond it.

The Grief Recovery Method is an evidence-based action program founded by John W. James and Russell Friedman, who have been working with grievers for more than thirty years. This proven program provides the specific actions needed to help you regain the energy and spontaneity that loss can diminish, allowing you to honor your loved one while rebuilding your life.
