FAQ’s

What is The Grief Recovery Method® program?

It’s a once-a-week face-to-face or online meeting that gives you the tools, space, and support to work through and release the pain of a major life loss. The program lasts 8 weeks although, because the grief process is so unique and individual, on occasion additional time may be required for completion.

What's the difference between one-on-one and group programs?

In a one-on-one program, you’ll work directly with Joy or Chelsi, our amazing Grief Recovery Method Specialists. You’ll be very supported throughout the process.

In a group program, you’ll work with a Specialist as well as others. You’ll hear our stories as well as the stories of others and get support from the group through the later weeks of the program.

What losses are okay to work on?

All losses are welcome! Death, divorce, and diagnosis are the most common, but there are over 40 losses that can cause grief.

What can I expect from our time together?

During each session, you’ll be welcomed into a confidential, non-judgmental space where you’ll be expected to share the truth of your story as it happened to you. You’ll also be expected to complete weekly reading and homework assignments.

From us, you can expect open ears and an open heart ready to receive your story. We are also available to answer logistical questions about the program.

What should I bring?

A notebook and something to write with. Books and worksheets will be provided for you.

Do I have to attend every session?

Yes. If you miss a one-on-one session, you’ll be asked to reschedule. I am here with you as a loving and supportive force to help you every step of the way. You are not alone!

How is The Grief Recovery Method® different from therapy?

The Grief Recovery Method® is a series of steps specifically designed to help you recover from major loss within a set time frame. Unlike traditional therapy, The Grief Recovery Method® comes with a preestablished framework, a distinct focus on grief, and a limited number of meetings.
