I'm Jen Burgess. My family moved to Tucson, Arizona over a decade ago and love the unique beauty of the Sonoran Desert. It is an incredible place to wake up to every day. It is also the place I started my own personal grief recovery journey.

I came to the Grief Recovery Method after multiple types of losses including my loss of career as a veterinarian, pet loss grief companion, and animal behaviorist, due to chronic autoimmune disease. I started a business to help others like myself who had lost their health, their identity and their purpose to autoimmune disease and soon realized that unresolved grief was a huge part of the problem and I needed to know more to help myself and my clients. Pet loss grief support played such a large part in my career as a veterinarian that expanding to other types of loss and learning to support others in those losses has been a natural fit.

Going through the grief recovery process lifted an enormous weight off me and has allowed me to rebuild my life and find purpose. I had no idea how much unresolved grief I was carrying around due to previous losses, which compounded the loss of my health, hopes, and expectations. I was drawn to the effectiveness of the Grief Recovery Method in dealing with ANY type of loss and I wanted to be part of helping others move through their grief journey, find peace, and feel better.

I firmly believe that when people who are experiencing loss are given the right tools to deal with the grief directly, they realize they don’t have to "just get through it." There is a step-by-step process to help them work through the emotion, let go of the pain, and move forward with their life--The Grief Recovery Method.

Grief recovery does not mean forgetting. It means letting go of the pain, respecting your memories and moving forward despite the loss without fear or guilt. This allows us to find new meaning in life and to fully embrace our current and future relationships and experiences. As an Advanced GRM Specialist I am passionate about helping people do just that.

I work with a wide range of grief experiences from death, divorce, pet loss to loss of career, health, and more. I am certified to work with groups or individuals online or in-person. I am also available as a speaker and facilitator if your group is interested in learning more about grief recovery and how it can help you let go and move forward .

The Grief Recovery Method is an evidence-based grief program that works for anyone. Every griever is listened to without judgment and with a commitment to absolute confidentiality and respect for the uniqueness and individuality of their grief journey.
