Hi, I’m Helen Lorraine Wray, a certified Grief Recovery Method (GRM) Specialist and ordained minister based in Akron, Ohio. My passion for helping others navigate loss stems from my personal journey through profound grief.

At just seven years old, I faced the sudden death of my younger brother, the closest of my siblings. Without the tools to process such a devastating loss, I silently struggled for years. When my father passed in 1999, I discovered the Grief Recovery Method, and it transformed my life. For the first time, I learned how to understand my emotions, process them in healthy ways, and regain my mental well-being.

Since then, I’ve faced the loss of both my husband and my mother. Each time, I leaned on the tools I gained through Grief Recovery to heal and move forward. I know firsthand the weight of grief—but I also know the power of finding hope and joy again.

**What Is the Grief Recovery Method?**
The Grief Recovery Method is a proven and life-changing process designed to help individuals heal from all types of loss. Whether you're grappling with the death of a loved one or pet, the end of a relationship, job loss, disappointment, or regret, GRM equips you with tools to:
- Rediscover hope
- Regain emotional strength
- Embrace new opportunities
- Find joy and purpose again

The pandemic has magnified loss for so many, but healing is possible. GRM offers a path to transform broken hearts into stronger, hopeful ones.

**How I Can Help **
I offer Grief Recovery programs tailored to your unique needs, including:
- Group or One-on-One Grief Recovery Programs
- Helping Children with Loss: A four-session program for adults caring for grieving children, based on the book *When Children Grieve* by GRM founders John W. James and Russell Friedman. This program is perfect for parents, grandparents, daycare workers, and coaches who want to support children in processing loss in healthy ways.
