Please know that you are taking a very brave first step toward a much better life and I would be honored to assist you. My name is Rich Markiewicz and I am certified as an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist®️ with advanced training on grief and loss through the Grief Recovery Institute®️. I found out about Grief Recovery work when I was looking for help with a loss that I was dealing with.  With this training and knowledge, I was able to deal with powerful unresolved grief that I was experiencing due to health issues of a close family member, deaths of family members and friends that were troubling me; and my own journey as a dad and later coming out as a gay man.  Although my clients come from all walks of life and backgrounds, I am grateful to also be able to help my LGBT friends in their journey.  Once I personally started with and experienced Grief Recovery work, I discovered that it was so powerful and that I had benefited so greatly, that I wanted to share it with others. 

Grief is the normal and natural reaction to change or loss of any kind.  Many times, we express it by saying that we are stressed, we feel burned out or depressed.  No matter what we call it, it is still grief.  Death and divorce are the most obvious types of loss but over 40 types of loss have been identified that produce grief.  These include loss of health, loss of a job or career, moving, starting school, marriage, graduation, end of addictions, financial challenges, retirement, legal problems and others. Children also endure various types of loss and I am thrilled to help parents, caretakers and educators discover how to help them.

I am located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where I do in person one on one and group workshops.  Having completed advanced certification training also allows me to do 1:1 Grief Recovery Method sessions over the internet, which removes the geographic restriction as long as my client has an internet connection and a computer with camera and microphone. 

I offer Grief Recovery Method workshops which include the following types of sessions:

* 8-week in-person support group format

* 7-week on-line 1 on 1 format

* 4-week on-line group sessions on Helping Children with Loss

My additional experience and training as a Certified Life Coach and long time Human Resources Professional, have helped prepare me to help those who are grieving.  You owe it to yourself to be happy.  By working with me, you can learn proven, evidence-based techniques necessary to not only healing yourself,  but also finding and discovering the greatest purpose in your life.

Please contact me so that we can discuss your concerns and challenges in order to help you to develop a plan to look toward a richer life.  I am honored to work with everyone who wants to learn how to improve their life.  Every person's experiences are unique but in grieving we all share commonality.  You can reach me at [email protected], at 774-239-1668 or at the link below and I will be glad to discuss more in detail.
