Jamie Seale

My name is Jamie Seale, and I am a Grief Recovery Method® Specialist and life coach serving individuals virtually & in person in the Vancouver, Washington area. My journey to the Grief Recovery Method began through lived experience. The morning my husband passed, my world changed instantly. I learned firsthand that grief is not just sadness - it is disorienting, overwhelming, and often misunderstood. I was navigating shock, responsibility, and loss all at once, while realizing that many of the messages we are taught about grief simply didn’t help. What I needed wasn’t fixing or platitudes - it was guidance and clarity through what felt tangled. The Grief Recovery Method® provided that clarity. Through its evidence-based, educationally structured approach, I learned that grief is a normal response to loss and that there are practical tools that truly help. This method not only supported my own healing, but gave me skills I continue to use in relationships and life experiences beyond that initial loss. GRM is designed to be transferable - what you learn can be applied to future losses and relationships, not just the one that brought you in. Today, I work with individuals experiencing all forms of grief and loss, including death, divorce, relationship changes, health challenges, transitions, and unmet expectations. I offer one-on-one Grief Recovery Method® programs, with a few options for in-person sessions or virtually in the Vancouver, Washington area. Alongside my GRM work, I offer life coaching through Finding Forward. This work is not limited to grief alone. It is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in a difficult season- whatever “pickle” life has placed them in. Whether the challenge is loss, transition, or uncertainty, my role is to help clients gain perspective, see situations from multiple angles, and move forward with intention. My style is warm, direct, honest, and deeply attentive. Sometimes I lead the conversation; sometimes I hold quiet space. Clients often share that they feel heard, gain clarity, and walk away with tools they can carry forward, not just for now, but for what comes next.
