Many of us associate the word “Grief” with loss. We then associate loss with death. Sadly, the definition of “Grief” has been altered or connected to death.

You do not have to experience death to be grieving. Grief comes in many different sizes, ways, shapes and forms. It affects people differently. In fact, did you know that there are over 40 life changing experiences that one can experience Grief from? Aside from death, some other life events that cause grief are Divorce, Retirement, Moving, Financial change, Health Problems, Legal Problems, Empty Nest, End of Addiction, Starting School, and many more.

If you are experiencing any type of Grief, understand you are not alone. Know that there is help for you, there is a way, a proven method as a matter of fact. The Grief Recovery Method is an evidence-based program, having documented statistically significant improvements in grievers’ knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to grief.

Loss, and the crushing emotional pain, from it can diminish the state of what your life was like before. Whether you have been through a single devastating loss or you have had several heartaches over your lifetime, the unresolved emotional pain can limit the quality of your life and your capacity for happiness.

Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss, but most of what we have been taught does not help us in dealing with heartbreak and pain left from it. We do what we think is best and sadly the tools we use usually do not help us with completing all of the things you wish you could have said or done in reference to the relationship or event that broke your heart.

So often what I hear clients say is: “This is my new normal” meaning I’m willing to live with the pain, regrets, lost hopes and dreams forever.

It does not have to be this way. I am not saying that your life has not been forever changed because it has. I am also not implying there’s anything wrong with being in emotional pain or that you can forget a person you loved that is no longer in your life.

What I am talking about is getting something back that you lost because of your pain. I want to help you get back the quality of your life. That is my goal with the Grief Recovery Method. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey. Together we will walk this road.

It takes one small thing to move forward. Willingness…accepting at least 1% responsibility for how you are going to move forward.

Maybe you’ve been through a devastating loss recently or a long time ago. Maybe you’ve experienced a ton of heartache, feel hopeless about the future, or wonder why you can’t seem to find any joy in life.

I’ve been there too: deaths, breakups, crushing loneliness, not wanting to get out of bed, they were devastating, I felt so hopelessly sad, and I wished I could have changed what happened, but I couldn’t.

 

Hopefully at some point you decide to search for help to heal your heart. Maybe that’s why you’re reading this message right now. I am here to tell you that there is a way, there is a method. The Grief Recovery Method can help! I hope you DM me, give me a call, or send me an email to begin the process.

Most of us develop the ability to try to control our lives and emotions. That is a part of the socialization process. When you are deeply grieving a loss, it’s then that you feel a loss of control. Suddenly, you cannot control your feelings and that can be overwhelming. You might find yourself feeling sad and/or crying without any ability to stop. You might find that things that were once important no longer have any meaning. These are among the many common reactions people have to grief. This can be scary.  It can make you afraid of your future. Because of that loss, it’s likely not the future you had planned.

 

If you have found grief to be overwhelming for you, it’s not because there is anything wrong with you. Grief is the normal and natural reaction to change in your life. Likewise, if you have felt lost in how to deal with that emotional pain, it’s simply because you never had the proper tools to deal with it effectively. As an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist I can offer you that direction and the opportunity to look forward to another day, rather than fearing what it might bring. Grief can be scary, but it does not need to destroy your life and your ability to feel joy, unless you allow that to be the case! www.JenniferGriefRecovery.com
