Grief Recovery® Program Overview
The Grief Recovery® Program is a practical, eight-week journey that helps you navigate your grief in a personalized way. Developed by John W. James and Russell Friedman, this program has been a trusted resource for over 40 years, supporting people worldwide. Working with a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist makes the experience most effective, and you can choose to participate in either a group or individual format, in-person or virtually.
The program is based on The Grief Recovery Handbook – 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition – The Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce, and Other Losses by John W. James and Russell Friedman. Once you commit to the program, you’ll need to purchase the handbook from us or Amazon, as it’s essential for completing the 8-week program. All other materials to support your healing journey will be provided by us.
Understanding Grief
Grief is a natural response to any significant emotional loss. While we can’t compare different losses, some common examples include the loss of a loved one, divorce, retirement, moving, losing a pet, financial or health challenges, marriage, graduation, overcoming addictions, and unfulfilled hopes, dreams, and expectations.
Grief manifests uniquely for each individual. Since every relationship is distinct, the feelings and thoughts tied to a loss are personal and varied.
The Problem
When we don’t fully process our grief, it can impact our happiness and well-being for years to come. Unfortunately, many of the messages we receive about coping with grief aren’t natural or helpful. While grief is an emotional reaction to loss, much of what we’ve learned about handling it is overly intellectual.
Here are some common myths about grief:
The Six Myths of Grief
- Don’t Feel Bad
- Replace the Loss
- Grieve Alone
- Time Heals All Wounds
- Keep Busy
- Be Strong for Others
Take the myth “time heals all wounds,” for example. Many people believe they’ll eventually feel better by just waiting it out. But after 10, 20, or even 40 years, they often find that time alone didn’t heal them—instead, it sometimes made things worse. The other myths can be just as misleading.
The Solution
Recovering from loss involves addressing and completing all the unresolved feelings and communications that have built up in relationships.
Completing the pain caused by loss enables us to “let go” and “move forward.” It’s challenging to progress without first taking deliberate steps toward healing.
Taking the Right Steps
The Grief Recovery Method® Program offers practical actions that help you move past the pain of loss. It provides a safe space to examine old beliefs about dealing with loss, identify the losses that have affected you, and take new actions that lead to healing.
