Nadine Mack

I am Nadine Mack, a Grief Recovery Method Specialist and founder of Mended Hearts Recovery. I live in Charleston, S.C. On July 23, 2015, my entire world crumbled when my 15 yr old son, Sterling, died suddenly. I was distraught and heartbroken; it felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest. After the funeral was over and the visitors and phone calls came to an end, I felt all alone. Yes, I had family and friends around me that cared for me and helped as they could; yet, it still felt like everyone had moved on with their lives and I was 'stuck' with my hurt, pain, and grief. After much prayer, being a part of another grief support group, and over a year of therapy, I felt led to do something to help others who are on this grief journey. This is when I was introduced to the Grief Recovery Method. Before Grief Recovery, something as simple as looking at pictures and videos of my Sterling was impossible to do! It would send me into an emotional tailspin!! After doing the 'work,' I was able to move beyond the pain of loss and begin a new relationship with the memory of my son. A few weeks ago for my son's birthday, I created a tribute picture reel in honor of what would've been his 22nd birthday!! And I did it without tears, heartache, and pain!! Do I still miss him? ABSOLUTELY! Do I still cry? At times, but without gut-wrenching feelings like before. So many people are going through the grieving process but lack the necessary support to help them to heal and cope. The Grief Recovery Method provides grief support that helps people move beyond their loss by guiding them through effective and lasting action steps. During this time, we become 'a heart with ears,' all within a safe environment. If you could benefit from this kind of support or know of someone else who is struggling with grief... please send me a DM (direct message), and we can have a chat to see if I can help.
