Grief & Bereavement Recovery Losing
a loved one through death or separation is a painful experience. The process of
grieving can be lengthy and unrewarding. Healing takes place when one is willing
and ready to move on in life. Grace has just the heart and compassion to feel
for you and help you get back on track! "My
father died of a heart attack away from home when I was 19 years old. When he
left home on a business trip a week before the incident, he was still smiling,
feeling proud that I had been accepted by the university of my choice. Two weeks
later, I never saw his face again - my mother returned home from a remote part
of mainland China having seen my father off, bringing back only his ashes. It
was the most painful and gruesome journey I have had to experience and endure..."
Grace recalled of her grief after her father's sudden death during her youth. Having
to wave good-byes to many loved ones due to deaths and separation, Grace had personal
experience in the process of grieving and recovery. She will take you through
