The Grief Recovery Method®

The Grief Recovery Method® Group Program is an 8-session, heart-centered and action-oriented program designed to help you understand your grief and take meaningful steps toward moving beyond the pain associated with loss.

There is no expectation to “get over” what happened or forget someone or something that mattered.

In a small, supportive group, you’ll work through a structured process that explores the beliefs you may have learned about grief, the ways you’ve been taught to cope, and the relationships or experiences that may still feel emotionally unfinished. Through guided exercises, reading, reflection, and specific action steps, you’ll gain practical tools for addressing what has been left unsaid, undone, or unresolved.

• You will work with Carol, an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist®, certified by the Grief Recovery Institute®.

• The group closes after session 2, so the same people finish the work together.

• We will go through the Grief Recovery Method using the Grief Recovery Handbook.

• Even in groups, your personal focus is your own loss and unfinished business that still hurts.

Your grief is personal. Your recovery can be too.

The One-on-One Grief Recovery Method® offers the same structured, action-oriented approach in a private setting with dedicated individual support - over 7 weeks instead of 8.

Over 7 sessions, we’ll work together to look beyond the circumstances of your loss and explore your unique emotional relationship to what happened. You’ll identify beliefs and coping behaviours you may have learned about grief, examine what may remain emotionally incomplete, and take specific actions designed to help you move beyond the pain that continues to hold you back.

There is no expectation to “get over” what happened or forget someone or something that mattered. Instead, you’ll have a clear process, practical tools and compassionate support to help you address what was left unfinished and begin moving forward.

• You will work privately with Carol, an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist®, certified by the Grief Recovery Institute®.

• We will go through the Grief Recovery Method using the Grief Recovery Handbook.

• The work is yours alone, no group sharing. The focus is on your own losses and unfinished business that still hurts.

• Currently offered Online Only.

You will be provided with the program materials:

• The Grief Recovery Method handbook

• Exercises and assignments

All you need is a pen or pencil, and paper.

We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and safe.

All participants must commitment to total honesty and absolute confidentiality at the beginning of each session.

There are no personal grief records, notes or files. Your story remains your story.

The group program is available online and in person.

At the moment, 1-on-1 is only available online.

The Grief Recovery Method® can complement counseling, therapy, and other supports you may already have in place.

The Grief Recovery Method® is an action-based educational program. We don’t ask deep personal questions about who you are, we talk about your grief.

What Happens After the Program?

Your recovery journey doesn’t end with your final session. The tools you learn through the Grief Recovery Method® are yours to continue using as you navigate future losses, relationships, and life changes.

As a graduate, you'll also have access to continued support through The Relief Method Alumni Program, a 4-session program designed to reconnect with the process, strengthen the tools you've learned, and continue working toward emotional completion as new experiences arise.

You'll also receive a personal follow-up after completing your program, along with an invitation to schedule a complimentary 30-minute follow-up session with Carol. This gives us time to reconnect, talk about how you're doing, answer questions, and discuss any additional support you may need.

Additionally, you will have access to a complimentary PS letter personal meet.

You may finish the program, but you don't lose the support.
