Hi! My name is Cynthia Zink and I live in the Seattle WA area. I spent much of my career in property management as well as working in spiritual centers working with education, youth, and music ministries.

I started doing grief and loss work several years ago at my church, then I expanded to an independent senior living retirement community. After retiring from property management, I started looking to share this important work on a larger scale. A friend told me about a certification program offered by the Grief Recovery Institute.

My husband had passed away a year earlier, so I figured that I would have my own personal experience to work through. It was one of the best training experiences of my professional life. I thought I was doing well with his death. During the training, I realized I had barely dealt with my own feelings. By working the Grief Recovery Method, I identified my feelings about all the losses in my life, especially the death of my husband of 28 years. The structure of this class allowed me to feel safe and “feel” my feelings. I was able to identify how it was affecting me every day. Then I could deal with whatever came up and move forward.

This phenomenal technique plays out over 8-weeks. And, the Grief Recovery Method is an Evidenced Base Program, that means there is real evidence from real people showing that it works.

I am excited to bring this compelling content to you and others so you too can find a structured, safe place to work through your grief.

Here are what others are saying about working with Cynthia.

“Cynthia is a good listener. Add to that kindness and humbleness and it equals a wonderful grief facilitator. I felt very safe in a situation that could have been quite stressful.”

“Cynthia has the amazing ability to give direction to a group conversation and let it grow organically. This allows for good class discussion. She also knows when to move it forward to the next point.”

“I do not believe I would have experienced [huge learning] in a workshop with someone who had not created a safe place for me to express myself. Cynthia created that space. She was warm, caring and appropriately self-disclosing. I am still surprised at how much it changed my view of my life.”
