A Bit About My Journey:
“All struggle is a gift.” I heard those words for the first time many years ago, while going through a painful divorce. It took me years to understand that it was the struggle that brought me to the healing.
Back in 2015, when I walked into the first day of my Grief Recovery Method Certification training, I didn’t believe I had any GRIEF in my life. Grief was about death in my mind, and I’d experienced very little of that except in my career as a nurse.
An hour into the training, my walls came crumbling down as I realized that my divorce, my childhood with an alcoholic father, and abuse from my first serious boyfriend, among other things, were all grieving events.
The pain I carried in my heart was literally destroying my life, yet I hadn’t realized it. I pushed down the pain and kept moving forward, hoping that somehow I’d feel better over time. However, I learned that it isn’t time that heals the heart, but the actions taken within that time.
After my divorce, I’d felt stuck with absolutely no idea how to move forward. Grief Recovery helped me heal, find my way back to myself, and rediscover joy. If you’re reading this, you may find yourself in this place right now, feeling stuck.
Perhaps you’re feeling hopeless, burned out, overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, or angry. Maybe you’ve all but given up on a brighter future. Maybe your grief has even affected your physical health.
As a Registered Nurse for the past three decades, I’ve witnessed firsthand how our mental/emotional and physical health are intertwined. I’ve seen physical suffering as the result of loss in one’s life, whether it be from death, divorce, loss of a job, loss of faith, or other circumstances that we wish had been better, different, or more. Because I’ve witnessed this in my patients and also in my own life, I was led to explore ways in which we can heal our hearts and rediscover joy.
Learning healthy, action-based tools to process grief has completely changed my own life. Instead of feeling like I’m barely surviving, I now feel like I'm thriving for the first time in my life.
I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned so others can thrive and feel joy again. My wish is to help you feel empowered and take steps toward healing and living the life you desire.
Change takes courage, and YOU are not meant to live anything less than an extraordinary life!!
