Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss, but most of the information we’ve learned about dealing with loss is intellectual. Although our Grief Support Groups involve some educational elements, effective Grief Recovery must deal with your broken heart, which requires emotional support instead of intellectual explanations.
People say you have to let go and move on in your life, but they don’t tell you how. The Grief Recovery Method Support Group, developed and refined over the past 30 years, teaches you how to recover from loss with supportive guidance every step of the way.
Did a death, divorce, or the end of a romantic relationship cause it? Or was it caused by any of the forty other losses that a person might experience such as moving, pet loss, or a change in finances? Regardless of the cause, you know how you feel and it probably isn’t good.
We aren’t going to tell you, “We know how you feel,” because we don’t. Neither does anyone else. What we will do is provide a safe environment where you will be given specific tools to help you recover from loss and ultimately lead a happier life.
Testimonials
what others are saying about SCV Grief Recovery
“It was safe for me to process my grief”
“Since doing the work, I have been able to use different words (disappointment vs. anger) and not expect others to be different.”
“On a recent visit with my mother, another situation came up that I realized I had not dealt with in the group. I was able to “put it on a shelf” with the comfort and knowledge that I would deal with it later. As a result, I was able to be present with my mom and not allow the negative feelings to sabotage my time with her.”
“What I liked best about the program was being able to have a safe place to unload and knowing it would remain so.”
“What I liked best about the program was sharing with others I felt could relate.”
“Since completing the Grief Recovery Group I have been able to openly talk about my mom’s death to others grieving a loss.”
Grief Support Groups
Our Grief Support Groups provide a safe environment for you to look at your old beliefs about dealing with loss, which losses have affected your life, and take actions that will lead you to complete unresolved emotions that may still be causing you pain.
It’s not a drop in group. It is an 8-week action-based group format that involves reading and writing assignments outlined in The Grief Recovery Handbook – 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition.
Each Grief Support Group is facilitated by a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. Specialists come from all walks of life and professional backgrounds, but have one thing in common; a desire to help people.
Not ready to commit to 8-weeks? Gather some tools by watching a Zoom workshop below. Though it’s geared towards the holidays, there are many practical tips you can use throughout the year.
