What is the Grief Recovery Method?                              

The Grief Recovery Method is the only evidence-based transformational recovery program in the world offered by the Grief Recovery Institute that educates, equips, and empowers grievers to recover from the grief that comes from loss. We offer 1 on 1 Support in a 7-week format or Group Support in an 8-week format.

 

What makes this program different from other Grief Recovery programs? 

It is evidence-based. According to the Grief Recovery Institute, “The term evidence-based means there is research that looked into how the Grief Recovery Method works.” That research was done by Dr. Rachel D. Nolan and Dr. Jeffery S. Hallam at Kent State University and published in the American Journal of Health Education. This program goes beyond a “best practice” or “promising approach” and gives grievers confidence that those who follow this program can find happiness despite the losses they’ve suffered.

 

It is emotion-based. Founders of the Grief Recovery Method, John W. James and Russell Friedman said, “Grief is about a broken heart, not a broken brain.” Bernie S. Siegel, a Pediatric Surgeon & Author said, “We destroy ourselves when we stop feeling. If you bury your feelings within you, you become a graveyard.” Specialists are taught to be a "heart with ears" and provide an empathetic safe space for every griever because every griever’s experience is unique and personal. Grievers don't need to be fixed. They need to be heard, listened to, and understood. We work to heal a broken heart, not a broken intellect.

 

It is empowerment-based. Maya Angelou said, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” All Grief Recovery Method Specialists are required to go through the program themselves for certification before they can help others. We believe with the right map, guide, and tools, every griever can recover, heal, and re-discover new life in the midst of their pain.
