Grief Recovery Courses. Practical, supportive education to help you heal, one step at a time.

Your Journey Toward Healing Begins Here

Taking the first step toward healing takes courage. I’m glad you’re here, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you begin your grief recovery journey.

You are not weak, you are brave

Taking action is a step toward healing

The emotional distress that comes with any form of loss can be profound and isolating. You may discover that the people you usually rely on for emotional support are unsure how to help. Well-meant attempts to offer logical explanations for grief often don’t help. Experiencing emotional pain is not a sign of weakness. Facing it shows a commitment to addressing and overcoming it. Seeking help with this pain is a constructive step toward recovery and healing, and you are very brave for taking action today!

Please note: These courses are educational. They are not therapy, counseling, or a “drop-in” support group. Each course has a set beginning and end, with weekly course work, reading and participation.

Online One-On-One Course
Most popular 7 weeks Online · Zoom

Online One-On-One Course

A private, 7-week, action-based educational recovery program using The Grief Recovery Handbook as our guide.

  • Private 1:1 sessions in a secure Zoom setting
  • The Grief Recovery Handbook included and shipped to you
  • Minimum 2 hours per weekly class, with reading and homework
  • Starts when you are ready, available worldwide (Central Time)
Full course details

The 7-week, online, one-on-one course is a potent, dynamic and sensible program, open to anyone committed to taking the essential steps toward self-help. As a premier authority on grief, Your Grief Solution provides a proven, effective method that applies to any type of loss, using The Grief Recovery Method.

Each week I introduce a component of the process: unlearning the misinformation we have learned from society, looking for the losses in our past, or finding what is unresolved and making emotionally accurate statements to a nonjudgmental, caring listener. Each week we share more personal, revealing information about our past, and we keep a set of commitments to each other that protect confidentiality and emotional safety.

Each session builds on the previous weeks’ material, so this is not a drop-in group. Weekly attendance is an essential, required part of your healing process. I will personally walk with you through your grief journey every step of the way, sharing my own story with you. Some courses may end early.

Online Helping Children with Loss Course
4 weeks For parents & caregivers

Online Helping Children with Loss Course

Gives parents, and anyone who works with children, the tools to help children deal with their broken hearts, whatever the loss.

  • Private 4-week course via Zoom
  • The book When Children Grieve included
  • 2–2.5 hours per weekly class, with reading and homework
  • An adults-only course to guide the children in your care
Full course details

Most parents find themselves at a loss when trying to help their children through grief. This 4-week program teaches parents, and others who work with children, the tools they need to help children deal with their broken hearts, no matter the loss they are facing.

Regarding age limits, I don’t set a strict age limit for children. Children of all ages can benefit from support and guidance suited to their developmental stage. For example, children over the age of 5 are generally better able to understand the permanence of death.

Please note: this course is for adults only. It prepares you to guide your children, or the children in your care, in completing their relationship to the pain, isolation and loneliness caused by a significant emotional loss. It is NOT a class for children to attend.

  • Private 4-week course via Zoom
  • Uses the Grief Recovery Handbook you already have
  • Minimum 2 hours per weekly class
  • Requires completion of a prior program
Full course details

This 4-week program is open to anyone who has attended one of my 8-week group programs or my one-on-one individual program. The only other requirement is that you successfully completed every part of that program, including the Completion Letter.

This four-week, online, one-on-one course provides the emotional support, safety and confidentiality you are familiar with as you complete what is emotionally incomplete and a source of pain for you. As you learned in your first course, you have other incomplete relationships to work on. Now that you know what to do and have moved through all the actions, this course lets you go back and work on the other major relationships that have affected your life.

Quick answers

Grief recovery, in plain words

How is this different from therapy or counseling?

These courses are educational. They are not therapy, counseling or a drop-in support group. Each course has a set beginning and end, with weekly reading and homework, and focuses on action steps rather than ongoing talk. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

The private One-On-One Course is 7 weeks ($500). The in-person group near Nashville is 8 weeks ($395), the Pet Loss Course is 6 weeks ($300), and the Helping Children with Loss Course is 4 weeks ($250). Insurance is not accepted; the cost is about the same as an insurance copay.

Who can it help, and where?

Anyone with a broken heart. Everyone is welcome no matter what kind of loss they have experienced. Courses run privately on Zoom anywhere in the world (Central Time) and the in person group in the greater Nashville, Tennessee area. A free 30-minute discovery call is the best first step.
