Grief Recovery: 7-Week Series

Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss, but most of the information we’ve learned about dealing with loss is intellectual. We have also been conditioned with many myths and misinformations about grief such as "time heals all wounds" or "keep busy." Although this class will involve some educational elements, effective Grief Recovery must heal your broken heart, which requires emotional support instead of intellectual explanations.
The Grief Recovery Support Group is an action-oriented program that is designed to support grieving people to help move beyond the pain caused by loss of any kind. There are over 40 different types of loss that can trigger feelings of grief. These losses can include but are not limited too loss of a loved one, loss of a pet, loss of job, divorce or other relationship loss and pregnancy loss.
The method is not only intended for people who are grieving as a result of a death or loss of relationship. It is beneficial to anybody who has experienced the pain of unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations in any relationship. It can also help with regret about how things should have/could have been different, better or more. It may help you to overcome numbing or avoidance of grief and help you to get completion and more peace in all relationships.
This program is a commitment to yourself and the others in the group. It is imperative that this goes in your schedule first and that you commit to attending all of the sessions. We do understand that emergencies happen and people get sick, but this is work that needs a strong commitment level. The program is guided by “The Grief Recovery Handbook” by John James and Russell Freidman and includes weekly reading and homework assignments. Again, it is very important to commit to the 7 weeks to the best of your ability and set aside 1 hour per week for homework. You also must purchase the Grief Recovery Handbook from audible, amazon or from Above Average Wellness.
This transformational support group is a safe and supportive space for you to examine what you’ve been taught about loss, to explore your beliefs about grief, how loss has impacted your life, and to complete a set of actions that will enable you to move forward in your life with hope and meaning. Whether you are grieving a recent loss or a loss from a long time ago, it is never too soon or too late to take the actions of this program.
