Program Description The Grief Recovery Method encompasses the principles and actions developed over the past 30 years by John W. James and Russell Friedman, the founders of The Grief Recovery Institute®, and co-authors of The Grief Recovery Handbook, When Children Grieve, and Moving On. This presentation is designed specifically to assist all who wish to help those with broken hearts end their pain and reclaim their lives. Grief Recovery method is exclusively focused on helping people deal with what remains emotionally incomplete at the time of a death, a divorce, or other loss. The element that most distinguishes the Grief Recovery method from others is the singular focus on helping people deal with the conflicting emotions caused by the change or end in anything familiar. The list of losses that produce grief includes more than 40 life events, so dealing with loss is a full time task. |
