    You Have Come to the Right Place

For Those Who Wish to Help Others: You may be a mental health professional, a member of the clergy or funeral industry, or you may be a person who has experienced grief and wants to help others. The GriefRecovery® Certification Program is designed to make sure that you have the best possible tools for helping people deal with their broken hearts.

For Your Own Broken Heart: There are more than 40 events that can create the range of human emotions called grief. Death of a Loved One [or Less Than Loved One], Divorce, Estrangements, Financial Changes and Health Issues head the list. Whether the loss was recent or long ago, it may still be limiting your ability to participate fully in life. The GriefRecovery® Personal Workshop assists in the ultimate journey back to your heart and to the mainstream of your life.

Reading a Book Won’t Fix You, but It’s a Good Place to Start: For everyone whose life has been affected by loss and wants to know how to help themselves; for parents, guardians, and others who wish to help children, we introduce you to The Grief Recovery Handbook and When Children Grieve, both available at most libraries, or directly at Our Book Store, and fine booksellers everywhere. Reading won’t fix you, but the actions suggested in the books will.

"I’m Fine and Other Lies:"
Is an example of the titles of the Many Articles which can be accessed on this website. Most of the articles are focused on dealing with loss or helping others, and cover a wide variety of losses. They can be read on site or downloaded and printed for reading at your leisure.

Privately Sponsored Trainings: Many churches, lodges with charitable focus, and care giving organization arrange private training sessions. These programs, held in your local community, are the most effective way to kick off a community program which then provides continuity of care for all.

Media Contacts and Research: The founders and principals of the Grief Recovery Institute have been providing media interviews for many years, always with an eye to expanding their ability to help the greatest number of grievers in the shortest possible time. Arrange an Interview.
