When a marriage ends, it’s not just the couple who feels the impact. Children do too. As the holidays approach, this reality can feel especially heavy.

Children Grieve Too ❤️‍🩹

When a child experiences loss while at home, like loss of safety & trust when they are abused, or the bereavement of a loved family member like a grandparent, or the losses experienced when they witness physical violence, CAN THEY REALLY BE PRESENT AT SCHOOL?

As a child I experienced a home life that was tense & violent both physically & emotionally, when the adults in my home were preoccupied with their own fear of safety & trust.

So when I was packed off to school, with the hope that I would learn & be engaged, MY HEAD WAS SCRAMBLED.

I was living with grief & that grief occupied most of my concentration.

Grief is the name for the range of conflicting emotions felt after experiencing loss.

At home I never felt safe. The fear I felt as a result was with me everyday.

At home I hardly ever felt comfort. The insecurity I felt was with me every day.

At home I witnessed & personally experienced abuse both physically & emotionally. The shock I felt was with me every day.

So how could I be present at school? How could I concentrate enough to learn? How could I be calm enough to build meaningful relationships?

In fact any qualifications and pleasant experiences I had at school were due to my innate character that fortunately wasn’t fully squashed.

Many children today endure very similar, & unfortunately much worse in their homes & are then sent to school with the intention that they should learn.

I would have really benefited from someone intuitive enough to notice my emotional discomfort. Someone that gave me time to share how I felt & that intervened to prevent me experiencing further discomfort.

So for me being a Grief Recovery Method Specialist now is so fulfilling.

I teach those that teach, to notice. To see when a child is struggling to concentrate or build relationships.

Then to give them space to share & to put words to the emotions that they feel.

….and then to help them deliver the necessary communication to recover from the grief they carry.

Children need grief recovery too ❤️‍🩹

Could grief be at the root of the obesity epidemic?
As a child I was encouraged to eat (especially sweets!!) whenever I felt sad.
Chocolate or processed food or high fat food is often the ‘go too’ when we feel emotional pain.
It can actually become the norm.

But we only heal from emotional pain when we are allowed to say how we feel. With no one trying to fix us, or analyse us, or criticise us.

The Grief Recovery Method eliminates the need to comfort eat by healing the emotional pain we all feel from time to time.

Contact me to talk about how it could help you ❤️‍🩹

Christmas Grief 🎄

If you’ve spent many Christmas’s with a loved one then you tragically lose them, Christmas can be filled with emotional pain.
The tree, the presents, the family gathering round can all now be painful.
Special traditions that you both upheld can now be filled with dread
Then there is the big meal, maybe they traditionally cooked, maybe they had a favourite dish, sitting down to eat now can be a very difficult time.

BUT IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE THIS WAY

You can enjoy Christmas again.
You’ll be sad, but you’ll enjoy the memories.
Moments that have great meaning to you will no longer be painful.
You owe it to yourself & your loved one’s to recover

The Grief Recovery Method helps you take the pain away.
Please contact me & let me help you enjoy Christmas again.

Ditch Your Grief for Christmas 🎄

Christmas can be a wondrous time.
I remember festive times in my childhood when the adults in my life were relaxed & seemingly happy.
This meant I could relax, drop my guard a little.

But the fear was always there.

You see, when it wasn’t Christmas, the adults in my life took up their usual tense & angry state. I again needed to be hyper vigilant, attempting to avoid the physical & emotional I would be subject to.
So Christmas now can be a time when my loss of safety & trust can be uppermost in my mind.
This can mean I am unable to be fully present with my amazing family.
That’s unfair on them but mostly it’s unfair on me!
Every day is a gift, especially Christmas Day, a day to fully enjoy.
So as Christmas approaches on all our horizons, let’s Ditch Our Grief ❤️‍🩹

The Grief Recovery Method is the only evidence based programme in the world.
It’s an action programme, it’s the actions you take that bring your recovery ❤️‍🩹
Let me, a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, guide you in taking those actions.
