What makes The Grief Recovery Method different?


  1. Our team of Grief Recovery Experts are dedicated to helping the world recover from tragic loss and overcome grief. This isn’t a regular support group. Traditional support groups are usually ongoing, which only keeps you stuck in your pain. The Workshop has an end and specific, proven directions for you to follow to heal your heart.
  2. It is NOT Group Therapy
  3. Traditional support groups encourage grievers to talk about their pain but don’t always offer a path to recovery. You will be guided step-by-step to take actions that are proven to heal your heart.
  4. Grief is a normal and natural emotional reaction to loss, but most of the solutions people are taught are intellectual. You’ll be guided from your head to your heart, which will improve the quality of your life.
  5. Loss is our Only Topic


If you’re like most people you relate grief to death, but here are over 40 types of loss people can experience in their lifetime! We focus on helping you with any loss and don’t muddy it down by getting involved with other topics. We do one thing well and that’s help people with broken hearts.



There are over 40 life events that cause grief
  • Deaths
  • Breakups
  • Childhood Trauma
  • Financial Changes
  • Moving
  • Health problems
  • Loneliness
  • PTSD
  • Crushed Dreams
  • Career Changes
  • Retirement
  • Empty Nest
  • Lifestyle Changes
  • Don’t know exactly what’s wrong but feel off?



Which one is breaking your heart?


A lot of people have come to us for other reasons…
  • Don’t want to get out of bed in the morning
  • Binge on food, alcohol, drugs, video games, TV, gambling or shopping
  • Feel unmotivated, hopeless or numb
  • Regret something from their past
  • Feel like they are missing something
  • Are always fighting with their spouse
  • Feel like they are not being the parents they could be
  • Hate their job
  • Are having a hard time during COVID lockdowns
  • All losses are valid!
  • You will get the support and tools you need no matter why you join us.

What is The Grief Recovery Method® Support Group?


  • Our Grief Support Groups provide a safe environment for you to look at your old beliefs about dealing with loss, which losses have affected your life, and take actions that will lead you to complete unresolved emotions that may still be causing you pain.
  • It’s an action-based group that involves reading and writing assignments outlined in The Grief Recovery Handbook – 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition.
  • It’s not a drop-in group. You’ll be part of an 8-week group format facilitated by Joy Gaertner, an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.
  • You will learn about all types of loss and you will choose what loss you want to focus upon.



The Grief Recovery Method is a scientifically tested Evidence-Based Program that provides grievers with a tried and true method that has been continuously refined and used time and time again over the last 40+ years, across multiple countries, and in multiple languages, to help them heal from loss(es).
