I collapsed at 42, not knowing my own grief from incompletely recognized and un-communicated feelings. At that time I was what I'd now call with humour "male challenged."
My losses would include my then primary work role, later my job, followed by loss of Mom, a Best Friend, and the toughest one of all: my then Best Friend Wife Life Partner, followed immediately by my Dad, my home, and more.... We each have a story. I am still standing.
Phrases I coined to guide myself evolved:
I learned to become "Ok, except when I was not"; to not know "if I was coming or going: so just do both"; and how to be "strong enough to be weak" (i.e., vulnerable).
Today, I am recovered remarkably, feel alive, despite, through, and because of it all. I was open to my grieving life.
I am a Chaplain with a lifetime professionally assisting others as a multi-faith chaplain in psychiatric & general hospitals, correctional settings, and previously in churches, and in the community.
I realized that my primary passion was for grief care in all of its forms. I always noticed it and named it for others, and then for myself!
Society too often misses it and may not know how to deal with it . Attention and resources may be limited.
Grief Recovery is structured, clear, methodical, evidence-based, and most importantly, available! It helped me through mind bending losses, and became an effective primary tool to help others through the waves of crazy-making, soul wrenching, spirit crushing life changing losses and events.
My Life Learnings:
- Kindergarten taught me how to share;
- Sociology, about people;
- Master of Divinity, about God talk;
- Institute for Black Catholic Studies, a Sing & Move Spirituality;
- Clinical Pastoral Education, about professional spiritual healthcare.
Post Kindergarten and the School of Life:
Grief Recovery Method deepened my ability to BE OPEN and SHARE & TALK about feelings, and accompany people to the DEPTHS of their pain.... and onward from sheer survival to feeling alive again through both the pain-tears and a joy-laughter. Don't do it all alone. I tried that. Check it out. www.griefrecoverymethod.com

8 two hour sessions (in person or sometimes online).
GRIEF COUNSELLING.

We are open to try things.
