If you have found me, then I can only imagine your heart is heavy, your pain is real, and you've run out of options, tools and resources to help you with your loss. I invite you to be curious about GRM as an option for healing and restoration of your authentic self. I found GRM because I wanted to find other resources for healing my old wounds around loss that surfaced and were affecting my current relationships. In truth: My heart hurt so badly and I too, wanted the pain to go away.
As a consumer, I would want to know if my facilitator could relate to me. Therefore, I will share a little about my losses:
- I have experienced many deaths in my life from death by suicide, to dying of cancer, old age, and many others.
- I have sat bedside with friends and families as they've grieved the imminent death of their loved one.
- I have had a loss of business that resulted in complete loss of everything to include our home, cars, and stability.
- I have had broken relationships that have broken my heart and I didn't know where to turn or how to heal.
- I have said "Goodbye" to many beloved pets that were an intimate part of my life and healing for me and my family.
- I have experienced grief with intangible losses such as loss of safety and trust, in our ever-changing world.
This is what I gained by completing GRM: I found that my grief was inhibiting me from joy and fulfillment. I learned that how I learned to grieve as a child was limiting me today. I realized that I had a lot of emotional loss that was "unresolved" and that I have a choice of continuing to carry these in an unhealthy, or healthy, way. I was astonished that taking action can free me of the enormous emotional burden that was plaguing my soul. I learned that it is possible to "move beyond grief!"
What I want for you is healing, in a new way:
- I'm offering to sit present with you, heart to heart (even on Zoom), and walk alongside you in your journey as you walk forward.
- I want you to know you that you are not alone.
- I long to help you identify and pracitce a new tool for grief recovery that can be used to heal other losses.
- I want you to experience hope.
Some of my experiece is, but not limited to, co-facilitation of Grief & Bereavement Support Groups for over 15 years. In addition, I co-facilitated Survivors of Suicide Support Group for three years for Hope Bereavement Services at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center. I am currently on the SMART Team (School Mobilization Assistance Response Team) for Clark County that responds and supports schools after a crisis (e.g. suicides, shootings, and other trauma).
Please feel free to call me for a free phone consult where I will hear your heart, share more about what I do, and see how I can best support you.
Always Heart to Heart,
Cindy Cook

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person or online with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
