Hi and welcome!
In the fall of 2021, I experienced grief that I never knew existed when my wife of over thirty-seven years died of complications from COVID-19. As a minister and pastor, I thought I understood grief and loss; I was mistaken. A few months into my grief journey, a friend told me about the Grief Recovery Method and invited me to be a part of her online pilot group. Not only did I learn about grief, but I experienced a level of completion and healing that I never thought would be possible. Through several circumstances, I realized that I wanted to help others on their grief journeys, so I enrolled in the training to become a grief recovery specialist.
I am a new resident of Fayetteville, NC, and can work with individuals or groups online or in person. My goal as a specialist is to help others discover that there is life and joy following loss. I would appreciate the opportunity to help you on your journey, as others have helped me.
