Welcome!! My name is Janelle, and I can’t wait to meet you. Please, come as you are. There is no judgement here. I am an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist® and I am so glad you are considering attending the Grief Recovery Institute® educational classes.
You are worth the investment!

In late 2021, I found The Grief Recovery Method®, which literally saved my life. The impact of this program is so life-changing I decided to become a Grief Recovery Method Specialist®. For most of us, grief comes and goes throughout our lifetime in more ways than just losses due to death. I still use what I have learned during my own time with the program and in my training to deal with various losses I am experiencing today and my life is so much more manageable because of it. What brought me to The Grief Recovery Method was the loss of two of my siblings in 2021 within 4 months of each other and today I am dealing with a loss of health due to a chronic syndrome that attacked my jaw bone. Who knew how a great loss it would be to lose my teeth and be on a soft food diet for over two years!

I have experienced many other losses in my lifetime, so I believe I can be a help to many people with many different types of grief. For instance, when I was six, I was not only sexually abused by a family member, my older brother Jerry passed away. We were very close and I was lost without him. In addition, my parents were not emotionally available. During this time, I experienced physical and emotional abuse of various sorts. As a result, I lost the ability to feel safe and to trust others. I felt abandoned and isolated. I can honestly say that this program has help me process this grief and overcome the grip it had on my life.

I have experienced many human deaths. Also, I had two significant pets in my life, Snookies and Sasha and both were extremely difficult deaths.

I struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, I wanted a place to belong and fit in. I have been blessed to have walked a journey of recovery for 29 years. It was not until I attending the Grief Recovery Method® that I felt so much freedom and learned why I used in the first place.

One loss you may not think of as grief would be a diagnosis of a chronic illness. When my son was born; my hopes, dreams and expectations were shattered when I got the news about his life changing diagnosis. Crouzon’s is a genetic disorder and he also has Autism, along with other mental health diagnoses. After the birth of my son, I experienced post-partum depression. After taking the classes I was able to process through all that happened during that time. Very freeing for me to be able to feel all of it and move on, knowing there is hope!

I am so grateful to be able to bring hope and healing through these exceptional programs.

Are you ready to embark on leaving the pain behind and free yourself to live a life of happiness and freedom?
If so, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey with any loss you have incurred; such as, addiction, birth of a child with disabilities, suicide, infant loss, job loss, abortion, caring for a sick parent, miscarriage, death, divorce and many others.
Sending love and light to all who read my journey....
