On Saturday November 30, 2013, my beloved husband died from a rare cancer, called Cholangiocarcinoma. When he died, I felt devastated, abandoned, helpless and heartbroken. My whole world was turned upside down! I no longer had my husband. Our 3 children no longer had their Daddy. Life, as we knew it, would never be the same.
As the days, weeks, months and years passed by, I realized that grief had its hold on me. It also had a hold on my children. I was stuck. I kept myself and my kids in isolation far too long. We needed to become free of this pain that was caused by grief. I knew that things had to get better for myself and for my children. This is when I found my way to The Grief Recovery Institute.
My journey of healing finally came into existence when I completed The Grief Recovery Method program. Through this program, I learned exactly how the losses that I've experienced have made such a tremendous impact on my inability to move forward.
I've finally come to terms and acknowledged the importance of breaking free from my own emotional prison.
Known as the only evidence based grief recovery program, The Grief Recovery Method's action based approach provided me with the right tools that I needed to no longer be held back by grief. I learned how to say goodbye to all of the things that I wish had been better, different or more. I've learned to no longer dwell on hopes, dreams and expectations that can no longer be. Also, the could'ves, should'ves and would'ves are now in the past.
There are so many different losses that each person may endure in a lifetime. These losses may be related to death, divorce, relationships, career, finance, health, and many more. Please know that through my own personal experiences of loss and from the support of this GRM program, I am here for you. As a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I will provide the space that you need to get through this period and to move forward in your life.
In person space holding is offered in the Markham-Stouffville area which is about 30 minutes north of Toronto, Ontario in Canada.
