Hi, I'm Kathie Powell. I retired from corporate management in 2016 to enjoy being a grandmother which I LOVE. I am also a fur mom to my giant rescue dog Wendel and our new kitten Oreo. I love being me and part of being me is being a mother, doting grandmother to 7 amazing grandchildren, a dog and kitten mom to Wendel. I am a griever and an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist. Having taken the Grief Recovery Method Program I know it works. It has helped me tremendously in this recent devastating loss. My husband always told me that this was what I was meant to do. He was right. I found my passion, helping other grievers move through the pain of their loss to fully feeling their lives working through the pain of loss using this amazing evidenced based program.
In my over 60 years on this earth I have experienced trauma and significant emotional loss throughout my life. Some of my losses include the death my husband, of both my parents, a tragic death of a dear friend, the death of beloved pets, moving many times, estrangement, loss of trust and retirement. Since embarking on this journey of healing through the GRM, I have learned that there are over 40 different types of loss and that each loss is unique to each individual. It comes down to the relationship we had with the person, place or thing we lost.
Through this program I found hope again. I have also gained a vocabulary to express and voice my feelings. This program was like the missing puzzle piece for me in my journey through letting go of the pain I had been carrying for so many years. I found me. My life significantly changed for the positive after completing the GRM in August of 2020. I got my life back, the one that had been hidden in all the coping mechanisms I used to function before my recovery occurred. I feel more at ease in my emotions and am finding I can freely express them. I began to enjoy life again for real, no more pretending.
I have a big heart and am driven to give back. I instantly felt compelled to share this new found understanding of grief recovery using the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) with others. There is recovery from the pain of loss! This led me to complete the training to become an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I am so honoured to share the amazing tools of this program with fellow grievers and listen as that heart with ears as they move through their unique grief experience to healing from the pain they carry.
Currently I am practicing online and I love the ease of this for my clients. Being online makes it so easy to connect no matter where you live we are not limited by location. You can be in the comfort of your own space and still feel heard and connected.
I am offering confidential online one on one education for Grief Support as well Helping Children With Loss online group education for adults and online group support using the GRM. If you have any questions, are thinking about working through your grief or you want to know about the program please feel free to email me and we can book a discovery call.
