Guadalupe Camacho

In 2015, I experienced one of the most heartbreaking losses of my life with the passing of my grandmother, who helped raise me and was a guiding force throughout my life. Although I continued moving forward, the pain of that loss lingered. It wasn’t until 2019, after our island faced the devastating impact of a major typhoon and I endured another significant personal loss, that I was introduced to the Grief Recovery Method (GRM). That year, I had the privilege of receiving training and certification in Guam alongside a group of compassionate and committed professionals. Through the GRM process, I was finally able to complete the loss of my grandmother in a meaningful way. It allowed me to honor her legacy with peace and clarity, and it changed my life for the better. Although I completed my certification in Guam, I now offer GRM services on Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), where I live and work. I served as the Lead Wraparound Coordinator at our local hospital, where I supported families dealing with complex emotional and behavioral needs. I am currently a counselor at Northern Marianas College, helping students navigate both academic and personal challenges. Additionally, I serve as an active member of the Board of Directors for Karidat, a nonprofit that provides essential services to vulnerable members of our community. The Grief Recovery Method gave me the space and tools to heal. It also gave me a new sense of purpose: to walk alongside others as they navigate their own unique losses and take courageous steps toward emotional freedom. It is my honor to offer this life-changing work to the people of Saipan and the greater CNMI community. If you or someone you know is navigating loss and looking for a safe space to begin healing, I welcome you to reach out by emailing me at [email protected]. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.
