Hi I'm Suzanne, and I'd like to tell you briefly about my discovery of the Grief Recovery Method program "by chance". After I completed the first program, I was amazed at how the simple steps of this method helped me to become aware, and to overcome a lifetime of carrying sadness and estrangement about my father, who died in 1999. The Grief Recovery Method taught me actions I chose to take that helped me with previously hidden heartaches. I remember telling the first Specialist who introduced me to the Grief Recovery Method program, that "I handle loss well", as I recounted my life as a "military brat", and continued moving frequently in my adult professional life. My public health nursing career included positions within the U.S. and internationally. The Grief Recovery Method program showed me how ineffective the messages I had absorbed from others, and repeated to myself for years, about how to cope with significant losses. The Grief Recovery program opened a way forward, that I needed to find, into actions that truly help complete unresolved sadness and grief. Immediately after I worked through the loss of my father, I felt so joyful and "lighter" and hopeful about life and the future. And over time time, I experienced similar positive results after completing Grief Recovery Method actions for my most painful losses (of my younger brother, and my husband, to cancer). This program is truly helps us live in the present moment. Now, I would welcome the opportunity to tell you about this program, and to help you discover how to overcome any heartaches and pain you have carried, or recently experienced, for the important losses in your life. I live and work in Kailua-Kona, the Big Island of Hawaii. I offer the Grief Recovery Method group classes in-person (8 weeks), and also this Grief Recovery Method education one-on-one in class sessions for 7 weeks. I look forward to talking with you, and answering any questions you may have about the Grief Recovery Method program, and how to participate in an upcoming group class or one-on-one class.
