Grief Recovery Method Outreach Program 2.06

Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss. It’s not a pathological condition or a personality disorder, but society says there is something wrong with you if you aren’t happy all of the time.

141 of the most common things people hear following a loss are not helpful including “we know how you feel” and “it just takes time.”

No one can ever know exactly how you feel because no one had the relationship you had.

Time alone does not heal heartache. Many people come to use with broken hearts over deaths that happened over 20 years ago. It’s not time that heals, but what you do in that time.

People say you have to let go and move on in your life, but they don’t tell you what you need to do to accomplish that. The Grief Recovery Method® Outreach Program not only makes that possible, but provides partnerships and guidance to ensure that it happens.

The 8 week program will meet on Thursdays from 6:00 - 8:00 pm beginning May 7, 2015.
Registration deadline will be April 30, 2015.
$160.00 course fee will include "The Grief Recovery Handbook-The Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce and Other Losses, including Health, Career, Faith (released by HarperCollins in 2009), and an accompanying format written by John W. James and Russell Friedman, founders of The Grief Recovery Institute are used as texts for the Outreach Program.

Who is it for?

Anyone who suffers from grief no matter what the cause. There are over 40 loss experiences including death, divorce, moving, pet loss, change in financial status and loss of trust.

If you:

Have experienced any of these losses
Have a broken heart
And want to feel better

This workshop is for you.


How do I know if I need it?

Although there are no stages or feelings that every single griever experiences there are some common symptoms of grief.

Do you relate to any of these?

Do you feel tired?
Do you feel emotionally drained?
Do you pretend to be happy?
Do you isolate?
Have your eating or sleeping patterns changed?
Do fond memories of your loved one turn painful?

If you answered yes to any of these you are probably experiencing unresolved grief.

Why does nothing else I've tried work?
