I grew up in a family that didn't talk about feelings or acknowledge loss or heart ache at all. "Suck it up," was the motto. Through my life I have buried feelings deep inside me, stayed strong for others around me, and grieved alone. I gave the world an academy award performance with every "I'm fine" I said. Then my husband, Jerry, died suddenly and unexpectedly in a car accident in March 2021. I kept busy by focusing on our three children. Our youngest was still in high school and I thought if I could just get her graduated and off to college then everything would be okay. In August 2023, she left for college and I was anything but okay. I felt alone, empty, and stuck. Then I read The Grief Recovery Handbook and it changed my life. And I felt moved to assist other grievers in changing their lives also so I became a Grief Recovery Method Specialist. Grief is a normal and natural reaction to any kind of loss; be it death, divorce, a broken relationship, job loss, moving or any of the other 40+ types of losses. Do you wish things had been different, better, or more with your loss? Do you have unrealized hopes, dreams, and expectations? Do you have undelivered communications of an emotional nature? If you answered "yes" to any or all of these questions then you have unresolved grief. It's time to complete and recover from your grief. It's time to heal your broken heart. Let me help you find freedom from your pain. I do In-Person Grief Support Groups, One-on-One Grief Support, and Helping Children with Loss programs. I am located in the Santa Clarita Valley/Stevenson Ranch area of Los Angeles County, California.
