Grief Recovery Method-Emotional Wellness Support
Supporting a child—or even yourself—through emotional pain can feel overwhelming. When your child walks in the door upset, withdrawn, or angry, you may not know what to say or how they might respond. Many parents struggle to communicate during emotional hardship, especially when they feel unprepared to offer comfort.
Most families dream of creating a peaceful and connected home:
sharing meals, meaningful conversations, family vacations, and watching their children thrive.
But when grief touches your home, that dream can feel out of reach.
I provide emotional wellness support through the Grief Recovery Method® to help individuals, children, and families navigate loss, strengthen communication, and rebuild connection.
What is the Grief Recovery Method®?
The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) is an evidence-informed, action-oriented program that helps people address the unresolved emotions caused by loss. Loss can include:
-
Death
-
Divorce or separation
-
Childhood trauma
-
Estrangement
-
Health changes
-
Moving
-
Major life transitions
As a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, I guide adults through a structured process that supports emotional healing and mental well-being. My role is to serve as a compassionate “heart with ears”—providing a safe environment where you can explore feelings without judgment, criticism, or comparison.
These services offer non-clinical emotional wellness support and do not replace therapy or medical treatment.
