Starr Roden, RN

Hi! My name is Starr and I was introduced to The Grief Recovery Method at a Public Health Nursing Conference in 2024, and from the moment I heard about it, I knew I needed to take the class—not as a professional, but as a participant. What I didn’t expect was how quickly that decision would lead me to become a certified Grief Recovery Specialist just a few months later. During the pandemic, we heard “mental health” and “emotional health” repeated constantly—but what if you didn’t have time to focus on your mental health then? What if you never really had the tools to check in with your emotions before the pandemic? After completing the training, I feel equipped to face any future losses—personal or professional—with honesty and resilience, but more importantly, I now have the privilege of helping others navigate their own grief recovery and begin to feel emotionally free again!
