A person’s relationship to each aspect of their life is also unique. As such\, the feelings and thoughts each person will have about the relationship that has been altered by death\, divorce\, or other reasons requires customized attention using proven skills and understanding.The PROBLEM. Simply defined\, grief is the normal and natural reaction to significant emotional loss of any kind. While we never compare losses\, any list would include\, death and divorce as obvious painful losses. Our list also includes many others; retirement\, moving\, pet loss\, financial and health issues and over 40 other types of lifestyle changes. \nThe SOLUTION. Recovery from loss is accomplished by discovering and completing all of the undelivered communications that accrue in relationships. We are all advised to “Let Go\,” and “Move On” after losses of all kinds. Most of us would do that if we knew how. The Grief Recovery Method® isn’t some theory; it’s proven effective for any type loss one may experience in life. \nWe are not going to tell you how you feel ”because we don’t . Neither does anyone else. What you will receive is a safe environment where you will be given specific tools to help you recover from loss and ultimately lead a happier life. \n“The Grief Recovery Method program is an evidence-informed\, practice-based program that has been shown to effectively influence components of grief and grief recovery.” URL:https://walkingwithjoy.com/event/intro-to-unstuck-using-the-loss-grief-recovery-method-4/ LOCATION:Powell United Methodist Church\, 323 West Emory Road\, Powell\, TN\, 37849\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://walkingwithjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/8fdc8cc715d1258d91c2cdf1f03f3d57-aomzGU.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210116T120000 DTSTAMP:20210116T113116Z CREATED:20210108T074133Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210116T113116Z UID:2434-1610794800-1610798400@walkingwithjoy.com SUMMARY:Loss and Grief Recovery Method Introduction DESCRIPTION:Find peace & happiness when you discover an action plan to move beyond the emotional pain after a death\, divorce\, loss or lifestyle change\n\n\nYou don’t need anyone to tell you when your heart is broken or when you are STUCK in…. \n\nAnger\nDisappointment\nResentment\nAnxiety\nRegret\nDepression\n\n You know it! \nIs your life forever changed after a loss?

If you suspect that you or someone you love is experiencing unresolved grief\, attend this Introduction to The Loss & Grief Recovery Method® to find your way out of the maze of life’s struggles. \nThe Grief Recovery Method® will help you navigate the unexpected twists and turns of life so you can move beyond the “stuckness.” \nTransform the pain and discover a sense of wellbeing and a life filled with purpose and joy!\n\n\n\nAFTER your register for the event you will be sent the zoom link for the session via a personal email sent by facilitator\, Joy Gaertner.

A person’s relationship to each aspect of their life is also unique. As such\, the feelings and thoughts each person will have about the relationship that has been altered by death\, divorce\, or other reasons requires customized attention using proven skills and understanding.The PROBLEM. Simply defined\, grief is the normal and natural reaction to significant emotional loss of any kind. While we never compare losses\, any list would include\, death and divorce as obvious painful losses. Our list also includes many others; retirement\, moving\, pet loss\, financial and health issues and over 40 other types of lifestyle changes. \nThe SOLUTION. Recovery from loss is accomplished by discovering and completing all of the undelivered communications that accrue in relationships. We are all advised to “Let Go\,” and “Move On” after losses of all kinds. Most of us would do that if we knew how. The Grief Recovery Method® isn’t some theory; it’s proven effective for any type loss one may experience in life. \nWe are not going to tell you how you feel ”because we don’t . Neither does anyone else. What you will receive is a safe environment where you will be given specific tools to help you recover from loss and ultimately lead a happier life. \n“The Grief Recovery Method program is an evidence-informed\, practice-based program that has been shown to effectively influence components of grief and grief recovery.” URL:https://walkingwithjoy.com/event/intro-to-unstuck-using-the-loss-grief-recovery-method-3/ LOCATION:Powell United Methodist Church\, 323 West Emory Road\, Powell\, TN\, 37849\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://walkingwithjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/8fdc8cc715d1258d91c2cdf1f03f3d57-aomzGU.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210106T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210106T190000 DTSTAMP:20210108T223517Z CREATED:20210106T065240Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210108T223517Z UID:2416-1609956000-1609959600@walkingwithjoy.com SUMMARY:Self Care for Serenity Wednesday Zoom Group DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to something kind for you!

You may find that you are approaching this holiday season with a sense of dread due to the losses that you have experienced…a death of a loved one\, a divorce or a lifestyle change (loss of job\, health\, Covid) or estrangement that sets the situation where people who were important in your life are no longer present at your holiday celebrations and rituals. \nFor some people\, anticipating\, and perhaps even dreading\, the upcoming occasion is worse than the actual day. Fearing that you may react badly\, or ruin the holiday for others\, can lead to feelings of grief and anxiety. There are several ways to approach these special days that will help you move beyond the pain and find enJOYment. \nJoy Gaertner\, Advanced Loss & Grief Recovery Specialist\, invites you to explore strategies for coping with loss and grief during the holiday. \nThis free workshop includes strategies for :\n\nHonoring loss: respecting and remembering the loss\nTreasuring memories: keeping loved ones in the story \nMaking a Plan: discovering a way to move beyond the pain and find joy again\nPracticing Self-care: finding balance physically and emotionally\nFinding hope; through connection and ritualsThere is no right or wrong way to get through holidays and other special occasions. It helps to make everything you do a loving tribute to your loved one\, while at the same time taking care of yourself. Keep or amend the traditions that they particularly loved so that you can still enjoy the occasion. Find a balance to honor both the loss and your personal needs for this present moment.\n\nI invite you to begin…\nWalking through the Holidays with Joy. \n\nYou will be sent the zoom link after you register on Eventbrite.\n\nYou don’t have to isolate yourself during the holidays. It is all about…\n\n\n\nThere are no rules for surviving holiday grief.\nDo what you need to do to survive.\nHonor your loved one how you need to\, and do what feels best for your fragile\, aching heart. \nYou are missing a huge piece of you\, so do whatever you need to do to find a sliver of peace.\n — Angela Miller URL:https://walkingwithjoy.com/event/holiday-loss-grief-walking-through-the-holidays-with-joy/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://walkingwithjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/1d03c87c09ff46ee48a85692f8cb98e7-84JX8Y.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201213T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201213T140000 DTSTAMP:20201213T015009Z CREATED:20201203T010435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201213T015009Z UID:2303-1607864400-1607868000@walkingwithjoy.com SUMMARY:Loss and Grief....
