Grief Recovery
Is your heart broken? Lost? Or Stuck?
Have you experienced death, divorce, loss of health, job loss, moving or any other major loss? 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. It is for anyone who suffers from loss no matter what the cause.
Grief Recovery Support Groups
This group meets once a week for 8 or 12-week sessions and is centered in personal discovery, and designed to assist people in completing the pain caused by loss. The group meets together to learn how to heal their heart and participate in activities that help them move forward in a healthy way. This support group uses homework-style exercises designed to help you focus on grief recovery, and is not a drop-in group. It is facilitated by Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Xuxuxyay Raven.
