Hello, I’m Debbie Riggle, and I'm honored to be a Grief Recovery Method Specialist with the Grief Recovery Institute. My journey into this role began after enduring a cascade of profound losses that reshaped my understanding of grief and healing. I used to believe that since I’d “survived” my grief and “put it behind me”, that I was okay. Like you, life has presented me with many challenges: the death of an infant daughter, the suicide of my brother and the resulting family estrangement, the sudden, traumatic death of a cherished friend, personal injury trauma, pet losses, divorce, and significant relationship struggles… my life has been touched by grief in many forms. I’m not unique; I’m human.
I’ve worked in healthcare as a CT Tech for over 30 years. I’ve been on the frontlines since the onset of Covid and I’m witnessing the growing epidemic of grief that has swept our lives. It's this firsthand experience that has fueled my passion to provide compassionate support and genuine tools for those navigating the turbulent waters of grief. I firmly believe that grief doesn't have to be a stagnant pool of sorrow; it can be a transformative journey towards healing and renewal.
In my dedication to this work, I've come to understand that grief recovery is more than mere survival. It's about reclaiming joy and finding purpose beyond the pain. With the Grief Recovery Method, I'm committed to guiding individuals through the process of healing and helping them discover that recovery is not only possible but achievable. It's about providing a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their grief, process their emotions, and ultimately, find peace.
Now residing in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, I'm dedicated to offering a warm and inviting space for individuals seeking solace and restoration. I am currently providing One-on-One and Group Grief Recovery Method Programs. I’m available online and in-person locally. With the Grief Recovery Method, I'm committed to providing practical tools and heartfelt support to help others move beyond mere survival and discover the profound possibility of grief recovery. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards healing and reclaiming joy in your life, I'm here to accompany you every step of the way.
