Grief has a way of creeping into every corner of your life, often in ways you don’t immediately recognize. My journey

with the Grief Recovery Method began after the overwhelming loss of both my parents and my grandmother. These losses alone were monumental, but the isolation I felt after an international move back to the US compounded my grief. I was in a new place, sitting deep in sorrow and struggling with the isolation and overwhelming sadness.

​

In the midst of this emotional turmoil, I discovered the Grief Recovery Method. Initially, I thought it would help me cope with the immediate pain of losing my loved ones, but as I went through the program, I began to uncover a much deeper well of unrecognized grief. It wasn’t just the loss of my parents and grandmother that I needed to process. I started to realize how many other losses had gone unaddressed over the years—the many moves that disrupted my sense of home, the friendships that faded with time and distance, and the broken relationships that left lingering heartache.

​

The Grief Recovery Method has given me the tools needed, and a structured way to express these unspoken emotions. I found that grief wasn’t just about mourning the death of a loved one; it was about acknowledging all the unmet expectations, the job losses, and the changes that left me feeling unmoored. For the first time, I had a space where my emotions could be heard, not judged or criticized. This program allowed me to process so much from my past that I hadn’t even realized was affecting me.

​

Through this journey, I’ve learned that grief is more than just sadness; it’s the accumulation of all the feelings we push aside because they’re too painful to confront. The Grief Recovery Method gave me the tools to finally address these feelings and begin the healing process. It’s not an easy journey, but it’s one that has transformed my life in ways I never expected.

​

Now, I’m committed to helping others navigate their own grief journeys, knowing firsthand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. The Grief Recovery Method doesn’t just offer a way to cope—it offers tools so that you can heal.
