About Karla

Hi, I'm Karla Chidester. I know grief, heartache and pain. After spending 30 years on my own grief journey while helping others with theirs, I became a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist after the horrific loss of my brother on Christmas eve in 2017. The year after my brother's death, I reached out to find a better way of grief support as to what I was accustomed to. My search brought me to the Grief Recovery Method. As I completed my relationship with my brother, I knew that I could move forward in helping other grieving hearts heal. Utilizing the information and the tools I gained from my certification in 2018, I now provide a community of hope and healing to the middle Georgia area to individuals and families after a death, divorce or other losses through my GRM grief support groups and one on one sessions.

My Experience

When I began my journey I thought I was going to work on the death and loss of my mother. After getting in the class and going through the steps, following the material I actually learned it was a totally separate and different loss. Now, I am happier, stronger and am better equipped to face the hurdles that come at me in life. The biggest thing I have learned.... IT IS OK NOT TO BE OK!!!
