The Grief Recovery Method®

The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) is the only evidence-based action program designed to help people recover from grief caused by any type of loss. Unlike traditional therapy—which often focuses on analysis or coping skills—GRM is a specific, structured, and action-oriented program that helps you heal your heart, not just your head.

If you're feeling stuck in grief, know this:

Things don't have to stay this way.

You can recover and rediscover hope.

Why Grief Recovery Is Different

Evidence-Based

Backed by research from Kent State University and published in the American Journal of Health Education, this program is scientifically proven to work.
