How I can help you
The Grief Recovery Method is the one programme that has enabled me to accept my father leaving suddenly when I was 10 years old and the trauma of events leading up to this. My mother was too heartbroken to talk to me about him and I did not have any contact for the next 16 years until a brief reconciliation. He died suddenly without a chance of me saying goodbye and I had considerable issues around trust because of my childhood. This affected my marriage and I subsequently struggled with my divorce and guilt for my three young children. Other close bereavements had an emotional and physical effect in the following years as well as coping with a young daughter who had a cancer diagnosis. I tried to find ways of coping and ‘healing’ the pain but struggled to find support that would help me to move on. A friend recommended attending the Grief Recovery Method training which was a revelation for me and for the first time in 43 years I felt able to forgive my father and myself for my marriage ending because this enabled me to understand my past emotions and behaviours.
I am passionate about supporting others experiencing loss and grief and have worked for a hospice in the community which inspired my studies in palliative and supportive care. I’ll support you along the way as a Heart with Ears either 1 to 1 or online so please call for a chat.
Over 40+ life losses can leave us feeling bereft
When we think of bereavement, we usually think of the death of a loved one. Most people looking for bereavement counselling or a grief coach only feel entitled to do so if someone close to them has died.
However there are over 40 different personal losses that can leave us feeling devastated, heartbroken, lost, hopeless and ultimately cause the same emotional and physical symptoms of grief.
The Grief Recovery Method is unique in that it is applicable to any and all kinds of loss. Each Certified Grief Recovery Specialist has been trained to guide grievers without judgement, criticism or analysis. We do not compare losses and we know that every griever is unique.
Not only can the action steps within the Grief Recovery Method be applied to any type of loss, they can be used again and again with any future losses that occur - once you have participated in a Programme, you will have all the tools you need to cope with loss later in life.
