Certified by The Grief Recovery Institute

The evidence-based, action program for moving beyond death, divorce, and other losses.Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to change or loss of any kind. The problem is we have been socialized to believe these feelings are abnormal and unnatural.People say you have to let go, get over it, and move on in your life, but they don't tell you what to do to accomplish that.
