Hi, my name is Doretta Kearns Tarangioli. I am married for 42 years.  I have raised three children and have two grandchildren.  I grew up on a dairy farm in Sandy Hook Ct. I resided in Westchester County N.Y. for 40 years and recently moved back to Newtown Ct. I have also been a resistered nurse for 45 years.  I started my career with the AIDS crisis,  endedwith the COVID crisis and a whole lot inbetween. In Dec. 2025 I retired.   I also have a masters degree in counseling.   In 2017 I was looking for someone to help me after the loss of my mother, best friend, father, childhood home, and the trauma to my home/farm town from the Sandy Hook school shooting.  It was a cumulative loss over a six year period, on top of a life time of grief regarding my daughter who has a severe learning disability.    In my search for help I found a grief recovery specialist in my area on psychology today.  I completed the  book and all the sessions.   I loved the book,the philosophy of the program, the exercises, and the action oriented program.   Having belief in this program, as it has helped myself, and knowing I can help others I became a grief recovery specialist in 2018.  This program also fit well with my other credentials and life goals.   My goal is to help as many people as I can with any and all types of loss, especially grieving parents of LD children,  nurses, and people experiencing  loss related to their health.  I have in the past done 1:1 intervention using the GRM.  Since my recent retirement  in December 2025 I now have time and I would like to focus more on reaching others in need using the grief recovery method.
