​Are you suffering
​from a broken heart? 

Did a death, divorce, or the end of a romantic relationship cause it? Or was it caused by another of the many losses that a person might experience—such as job loss, pet loss, or a loss of health? Whatever the reason, your grief is real, and it doesn't feel good. 
​
As a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I am here to help. ​​The Grief Recovery Method® provides a safe environment where you will learn specific tools to help you recover from your loss and ultimately lead a happier life.

What is The Grief
​Recovery Method?

​​The Grief Recovery Method® support groups provide a safe environment for you to look at your old beliefs about dealing with loss, which losses have affected your life, and take actions that will lead you to complete unresolved emotions that may still be causing you pain.
​
  • It’s an action-based group that involves reading and writing assignments outlined in The Grief Recovery Handbook. ​
  • It’s not a drop in group. You’ll do either an 8-week group format or a 6-week one-on-one format, depending on your preference and availability. It is important to attend every week. ​

  • The program is facilitated by a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist trained by the Grief Recovery Institute to help people through their grief.​

The Problem

Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss, but most of the information we’ve learned about dealing with loss isn't helpful. Effective grief recovery must deal with your broken heart, which requires emotional support instead of platitudes and intellectual explanations about the way it is or what is "best."

Often people offer unsolicited advice. They may say you have to let go and move on with your life, but they don’t tell you how.  Most often they offer unhelpful common​ myths about grief, including:
• Time heals all wounds
• Replace the loss
• Grieve alone
• Be strong
• Don't feel bad
• Keep busy

The Solution

​​The Grief Recovery Method®, developed and refined over the past 30 years, teaches the griever how to recover from loss with supportive guidance every step of the way. The action-based process is detailed in The Grief Recovery Handbook. 

​​The Grief Recovery Method® is for anyone who has experienced any kind of loss. It is never too soon to address your grief. If you broke your leg would you wait to call the doctor? Why wait to get help when you break your heart?

You’ve probably heard that time heals all wounds. That's simply not true! If it were true, all anyone would have to do is wait to feel better. Some people wait years and even decades, and still don’t feel better. Many of those people would tell you that not only had time not healed them, but it actually made the pain worse.

It’s not time that heals. It's what you do within time. ​​The Grief Recovery Method® includes actions that will heal your broken heart. CONTACT ME if you are in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, area and would like to know more about ​​The Grief Recovery Method®.

When a dream is stolen, the heart keeps an ember that cannot be extinguished. That ember can be stirred to flame, rekindling joy and realizing new possibilities.
You turned my mourning to dancing
and my sorrow to joy . . .
Psalm 30:11
