Hello,

My name is Willow, and I own and operate Grief Recovery Kansas . My focus is on helping people overcome the loss of a pet. My work is based on the Grief Recovery Method® and I am a Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist®.

I came to the Grief Recovery program seeking relief after the loss of my dear dog, Major "Bunny" Nelson. He was a cantankerous old man that I adopted when he was 10 years old. Bunny was my close companion for 3 years, and when he died, my heart was in pain. I missed him so much. I needed help. I spent several weeks searching for the right type of support. My life was forever changed when I found the Grief Recovery Institute. The healing I experienced was nothing short of remarkable.

My passion is to support families before and after the loss of a pet, service animal, and working animal. You may find that people can be insensitive to the loss you are experiencing, and may inadvertently say things that instead of making you feel better, actually make you feel worse. Using the activity-based Grief Recovery Method, you will be provided the necessary steps and guidance to help you move forward in your life.

In addition, as an End-of-Life Doula, I specialize in supporting individuals, families, friends, and caretakers as they make the difficult, yet necessary, end-of-life decisions. I assist in guiding the family through advanced planning, bedside vigil, transition, loss, mourning and grief support.

As we work through your loss, you should experience a feeling of relief and completion. I look forward to working with you and offer group sessions as well as one-on-one sessions.

Willow
