These 6 group sessions are designed to take you through the Grief Recovery Method for Pet Loss with Kelly Norton, Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist.

 NOTE: If you are looking for support for the loss of a person or relationship with a person, please register for the 7-session Grief Recovery Method program. This program is exclusively for people who have lost a beloved animal.

 This program is not exclusive to dog and cat loss. From fish to horses and everything in between, I understand the love and bond we can have with our animal friends and just how incredibly painful it is to say goodbye. 

 These are not drop-in sessions. Each session builds on the last, so attendance is important for continuity.

 Whether you've recently experienced a loss or have been holding onto the pain of a loss for a long time, you're in the right place. 

 

 Each session of this action-oriented program will help you understand yourself and your grief better. We will examine how you have been coping and what old beliefs about coping may be keeping you stuck. We will identify which losses had the most impact on you, and then we will take proactive steps toward healing and resolving what feels unfinished emotionally with your animal that is causing you pain. 

 You will be able to honor your relationship with your animal in a beautiful way as you honor your grief in losing them. 

 You will end our time together armed with tools so that when changes or loss come into your life in the future, you are prepared to nurture yourself through those difficult times.

 You will also find community and understanding with other people also facing the loss of a much-loved pet.

 
In group coaching, I work with several clients simultaneously, facilitating discussions and activities to achieve common goals. 
 
Our focus is on each individual’s personal development within the collective. Each participant benefits from shared experiences and mutual support. Your outcome will be enriched by the group’s collective wisdom and support. 
 

 Groups are limited to 8 participants (plus Kelly) so that no one gets lost in the shuffle. We will meet together over Zoom, so you can be in the comfort and privacy of your own space. Please plan to meet over a tablet or a computer. The format makes using Zoom on a cell phone quite difficult. 

 We will meet for approximately 2 hours per session so that everyone has a chance to be heard.

 After each session, you will have reading and writing assignments to complete before the next time we meet. Please take the time to give these your full attention and effort.

Sessions will be at the same time and day, every week for 6 weeks. These are not drop-in sessions. Attendance at every session is so important.

 

 Making the most of our time together starts with preparation. Come to the session without other distractions present. Doing the reading and writing assignments before each session is key.

 I suggest having a notebook and pen handy during our sessions so that you can write down any insights or ideas you have during our meeting.

Also, if you're comfortable, I would absolutely LOVE to see a few photos of your pet, so have some ready if you'd like to show me and the group.

Once you are on the waitlist, you will be first to be notified when new groups open up to registration.

When you register there will be options for:

You'll receive calendar invitations to all of our group sessions, held once per week for 6 weeks beginning on the start date.
