Recovery from loss is accomplished by discovering and completing all of the undelivered communications that accumulate 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!
Completion of pain caused by loss is what allows us to let go and move forward. It is almost impossible to move forward without first taking a series of actions that lead to completion.
Before taking the actions of completion, it is necessary to look at and often dismiss some of the myths/beliefs that we have been influenced to use in dealing with loss and replace them with correct information that will lead to healing.
Safety and Correct Actions
The Grief
Recovery® Outreach Program creates the safety and correct action choices that help people move beyond the pain caused by loss. It is a twelve week program, which creates a safe environment in which to examine old beliefs about dealing with loss, look at what losses have affected your life, and take new actions which lead to completion of the pain attached to loss. These losses could be recent or may have occurred long ago.
The Grief Recovery Handbook, The Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce, and Other Losses (released by HarperCollins in 1998), and an accompanying format written by Institute founders, John W. James and Russell Friedman is used as the text for the Outreach Program.
Commitment and Attendance
The GriefRecovery® Outreach Program is not an occasional, drop-in group. For the safety and success of all participants, commitment and attendance are essential.
