My desire to help others began with my own journey. I knew that in order to help anyone else that I would have to walk toward my own peace. For me that peace first began with my faith in God and salvation through Jesus Christ. However, for many years I kept trying to find a place of complete surrender but could not do that because of the "baggage" I was carrying around. I knew to even be complete in my faith that I had to discover the areas in my life that needed work with an honest approach. I wanted to have an understanding of why I kept laying things down in my life but could not get free of them. I had become proficient at laying down pain, disappointments, grief and un-forgiveness then picking it back up. It wasn't lack of faith~But what I was missing was the information and tools to help me process & understand what the source was. How can we begin to heal and receive healing if we don’t understand the true root of the issues?
It was important to me to have a healthy mind and heart. It was important to me to exemplify that to those in my life most important to me.
Through my own experience I learned the tools to walk through the areas in my life where unresolved grief existed. That completion led to an even deeper walk in my own personal faith. I found not only did I have love & forgiveness for myself and situations in my life but also a great sense of confidence that led to me being a more healthy & successful individual in so many areas. It all started with a couple of friends over lunch one day discussing their experience with the Grief Recovery Method and the success they had. Shortly after that day I decided to meet with a Grief Recovery Specialist.
It was an experience that was not only life changing but one I will always be grateful to God for.
The tools that I learned are still something I implement in my own daily life.
My own experience helped me be more committed in my personal faith & confident in who I was. It gave me a different perspective about being a Mother, Wife, Daughter & Friend. To be a better listener & more intentional with my words. The experience also helped me become more efficient in my service to God and my community. In forgiveness for myself and others I was also able to finally receive the forgiveness I believed I had been given.
It is my great desire for others to feel this sense of freedom in letting go of unresolved grief. So many times we walk through life believing that we have done so when in reality we cannot truly do that without understanding what unresolved grief is. Also, to understand the ripple effects it causes in our lives, personal faith and the lives of those around us.
What a privilege it is to walk with others on their journey.
Currently, I am able to do this in my own community in McMinn County Tennessee at the Foothills of the Smokey Mountains. Along with others in my office we serve our community at Athens Grief & Wellness Center in Athens, Tennessee.
It would be my pleasure to serve you as well and be a part of your story.
Many Blessings- Beth Miller GRMS
