I came to Grief Recovery Method through my work with Hospice Grief Counseling - My second career after 20 years in church/Parish work.  It has been my personal and work experience that we carry so much grief with us and most of the time that grief is left unexpressed and unresolved as we have no idea what to do with it.  Grief can come from losses of loved ones and the endings of relationships, but grief can also come from more unexpected places like loss of faith, moving, empty-nesting or retirement. I have found GRM to be an excellent mix of emotional reflection and pracitcal steps for grief processing and reconciliation.  

Grief Recover Method helped me and I'm sure it can help you.  

 Feedback from prior participants:

After the death of my husband of nearly 40 years, I met briefly with a grief counselor from hospice but sensed the need for a different approach to recovery.  In my search, I came across the Grief Recovery Method (GRM); a time limited, action oriented, one-on-one program with a certified counselor.

A local counselor, Whitney Hall, came to my home to explain the GRM process and I had the opportunity to briefly describe my recent loss.  Whitney is a warm, welcoming, compassionate professional.   Our weekly visits focused on the information and tools of the GRM.  Whitney is a gifted, active listener who offered insight and alternative perspectives, while maintaining the truth of my experiences, values and faith.  I was open and honest and felt truly heard, understood, validated and affirmed.   It was a guided journey on a path back to a hopeful reality.  She witnessed my grief; all of it.  An invaluable experience. - Rachel

"I went through the GRM process in a group led by Whitney and by the conclusion experienced the completion of a grief event that I had over 25 years ago. I was able to receive support from  the other members of the group and give support to them. The assignments were clear and brought me along in sensible steps to a conclusion I didn't expect - completing the grief process. As a result I have been able to move ahead without being tethered to an event from a quarter of a century in my past. "   R.

Grief is so complex - much more than just feeling sad because of a loss. The Grief Recovery class provided a means to process all the overwhelming feelings and to navigate through this transition in my life. - D.

I was not exactly sure what to expect when I started taking this course.  But, with hesitation, I dove in and did everything that was required.  The interesting thing was not only did the course help me to come to a conclusion about something that I was having difficulty with, but I also got to know myself much better. 

Whitney did a wonderful job in guiding this class, and helping me to understand and conclude a problem that I had carried for over 15 years.  Whitney is so full of compassion and empathy.  I feel like my heartache became hers and together we came to understand my grief and bring it  to a conclusion.  I highly recommend this group to everyone. - S.

I will be hosting a GRM group  in early winter of 2023 - Please contact me for further information.  In addition I do support Children coping with grief and pet loss for all ages.

In Person support is available in the following areas: Bedford, NH; Manchester, NH; and surrounding areas.  Also available in Lowell, MA and all the surrounding Merrimack Valley areas. (Visits at home are sometimes possible if transportation is a challenge.) Virtual Support sessions can also be arranged.
