About Julie

Loss spoiled my happy life….months of duvet days, isolation, acting recovered and just waiting for time to pass, failed to make me feel better….even though they said it would! I’m Julie Shepherd Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, based in the North East of England. I’d like to share with you how to move forward and move beyond that pain of loss. Our society is full of well meaning people. After all our family and friends wouldn’t hurt us on purpose would they? Unfortunately when we grieve they often do. Were you taught what to say, or what not to say when friends are going through relationship breakups, bereavement, job loss, illness diagnosis, moving home, miscarriage & more? We’re just so I’ll equipped to help ourselves or those around us. Unresolved grief becomes compound because we don’t know how to deal with it. Let me walk you through The Grief Recovery Method (TGRM). Simple honest steps deal with the unfinished business of our loss. I can help you re-engage in life again without carrying the pain that loss has left. I know that TGRM works, I’ve experienced it in my own life and those I’ve worked with. A decade ago, I was thrust into widowhood suddenly and unexpectedly. Trust me and trust the process. Let me take your hand so you can move forward without the conflicting emotions left by your loss. Can you be honest, show up once a week for 8 weeks and do a 60 minute task once a week? That’s all it takes so you don’t have to live life with a sticking plaster over your broken heart. The Grief Recovery Handbook saved my sanity. The Grief Recovery Method transformed my life. It can do the same for you. This is the call you won’t regret making. I’m available to work locally face to face, or online for those further a field. With hugs…….Julie

My Experience

The Grief Recovery Programme has been crucial in enabling me to fully acknowledge and deal with my grief at the loss of my husband of four decades. Julie Shepherd provided an invaluable guide through the programme with kindness and compassion. Her patience was invaluable as I sometimes struggled with my emotions when trying to express my feelings and to understand my own thinking surrounding my loss. The programme has enabled me to remember with love and to celebrate the rich and profound relationship I had with my husband, while moving forward to a new stage in my life. Julie helped me understand that moving forward doesn’t mean that Nick is forgotten but that he moves forward with me. Nick is part of me, he helped me become the woman I am today and that is a woman capable of remembering with love while learning to live and celebrate a new life. I still miss Nick and sometimes that loss feels overwhelming yet I now have the tools to deal with that loss and I am learning to remember Nick with love and happiness. What we had was special, sometimes joyful, sometimes frustrating but always grounded by love. That is my reality and that is what is now allowing me to live with love and joy.

My Experience

Julie really is an exceptional person who brought a very welcoming and engaging personal touch to the program. While the program itself would undoubtedly have been very helpful I feel Julie's support and delivery elevated the experience by an order of magnitude.

My Experience

I'm so pleased to have found Julie and the Heatbroken To Healed program. Julie is such a lovely person and makes you feel welcome and safe. I have learned new skills to help me in my grief recovery. It wasn't always easy to complete the required tasks of the program, however, throught the tears and with Julie's help and support I achieved them.

My Experience

Julie was wonderful, always there with a hug, a kind word or a tissue! She made me feel at ease instantly and allowed me to open up in a way I find difficult to do with other people.
