One-to-one support
Through the Grief Recovery Method
Jodie’s care and love through and after the grief recovery process has empowered me to develop and learn to use tools to face my grief head on… I can finally remember the happy times, laugh and experience joy, rather than being smothered relentlessly by guilt and loss. I have my zest for life back and am truly kicking goals.
I read the book Have You Met My Grief? by Jodie Atkinson just after my wife had died last year and engaged her as a specialist in the Grief Recovery program. I found Jodie provided me with professional and compassionate support during this challenging time. Because of her wide experience in dealing with grief, she was empathetic to the situation and was very helpful in my grief recovery process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jodie to anyone who is grieving.
