About Cindy

If you have found me, then I can only imagine your heart is heavy, your pain is real, and you've run out of options, tools and resources to help you with your loss. I invite you to be curious about GRM as an option for healing and restoration of your authentic self. I found GRM because I wanted to find other resources for healing my old wounds around loss that surfaced and were affecting my current relationships. In truth: My heart hurt so badly and I too, wanted the pain to go away.As a consumer, I would want to know if my facilitator could relate to me. Therefore, I will share a little about my losses: I have experienced many deaths in my life from death by suicide, to dying of cancer, old age, and many others.I have sat bedside with friends and families as they've grieved the imminent death of their loved one.I have had a loss of business that resulted in complete loss of everything to include our home, cars, and stability.I have had broken relationships that have broken my heart and I didn't know where to turn or how to heal.I have said "Goodbye" to many beloved pets that were an intimate part of my life and healing for me and my family.I have experienced grief with intangible losses such as loss of safety and trust, in our ever-changing world. This is what I gained by completing GRM: I found that my grief was inhibiting me from joy and fulfillment. I learned that how I learned to grieve as a child was limiting me today. I realized that I had a lot of emotional loss that was "unresolved" and that I have a choice of continuing to carry these in an unhealthy, or healthy, way. I was astonished that taking action can free me of the enormous emotional burden that was plaguing my soul. I learned that it is possible to "move beyond grief!"What I want for you is healing, in a new way:I'm offering to sit present with you, heart to heart (even on Zoom), and walk alongside you in your journey as you walk forward.I want you to know you that you are not alone.I long to help you identify and pracitce a new tool for grief recovery that can be used to heal other losses.I want you to experience hope. Some of my experiece is, but not limited to, co-facilitation of Grief & Bereavement Support Groups for over 15 years. In addition, I co-facilitated Survivors of Suicide Support Group for three years for Hope Bereavement Services at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. I am currently on the SMART Team (School Mobilization Assistance Response Team) for Clark County that responds and supports schools after a crisis (e.g. suicides, shootings, and other trauma). Please feel free to call me for a free phone consult where I will hear your heart, share more about what I do, and see how I can best support you. Always Heart to Heart,Cindy [email protected]360-609-7539

My Experience

The richness of my interactions with Cindy Cook were beyond what I’ve ever experienced in a therapy type setting. I felt deeply heard, gently challenged to dig deeper. Each session was revelatory. Not only about my personal losses. It raised my consciousness about how to support and respond when others share their loss experiences.

My Experience

Working with Cindy with the GRM method has been the most transformative experiences of my life. I came to Cindy in a place where I was feeling lost, heavy and unsure how to move forward in life. Immediately in our first session with Cindy, I felt Safe, Seen, heard, and continuing throughout the process the significant amount of compassion and gentleness she gave forward helped me continue navigating the process with her. During the process she showed vulnerability that helped me feel safe in her space, it’s truly an experience towards recovery I believe everyone needs to go through. She helped me navigate a yarn ball full of emotions I would have never been able to untangle on my own, I never felt rushed, or judged. I was continually reminded of self love. If you’re grieving or struggling to navigate through a hard time Cindy is an absolute gift and I’m endlessly grateful for the light she helped me find in the darkness. You are worth it- working to heal yourself will give you absolute freedom.
