His parting words were, "time is non-linear, and I'll always be with you." For many years, I struggled to find my way through my grief maze. I found some healthy outlets for my grief including starting a memorial scholarship fund in my father's name (I've raised over $110,000!) and running the NYC Marathon. Despite my best efforts and amazing family and friends, I still felt incredibly lonely and isolated. During this time, I promised myself that when I found ways to heal my heart, I'd do everything in my power to help other broken-hearted people heal and learn to live again in their new normal. On the eve of my father's ten-year anniversary, I found the Grief Recovery Method ® which gave me the tools that I had been searching for to really begin my recovery and heal my broken heart. It also helped me fulfill my promise to myself of being able to help others overcome loss and grief by becoming an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist ® and founding my grief recovery practice, The Non-Linear Journey.Grief is a non-linear journey that is unique for every single person. Grief Recovery does not mean that you'll ever forget your loved one, or never feel sad. It means that you'll learn the tools to feel better and heal your broken heart. I'm proud to offer a variety of GRM programs serving the San Mateo-San Francisco Bay Area, including in-person 1-on-1's, online 1-on-1's, Support Groups, Helping Children With Loss, and Pet Loss Support Groups.To learn more about how you can help heal your heart, schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation or email me ([email protected]) so we can find a time that works for you.
