FAQs

Why should I work with a Coach instead of a counselor/therapist for my grief? 
When I first heard about The Grief Recovery Method, it never occurred to me that I might personally benefit.  It had been well over a decade since anyone near me had died so, clearly, I was no longer grieving their loss. My limited perspective about grief had me stuck in avoidance patterns for too many years.  By working with Jinnie, I was able to reduce the stress of a current, antagonistic relationship and turn it into a more loving one, identify triggers and make new choices about crutches I’d used as coping methods. Jinnie is someone you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings.  Her coaching helped me stop the pain and get back on the path to a fulfilled life.

Three Things You Walk Away With

Picture

Reassurance

Every person is unique, and every grief experience is unique.  You’re not crazy, everything you’re experiencing is normal, and you will survive – I promise!  I’ll provide a safe place for you to express everything that’s on your heart and mind.
Picture

Resolution

All relationships include both positive and negative memories; even positive life events include some elements of loss. This work allows you to express all of your feelings about the changes you’ve experienced, thus leaving your heart and mind free to relish all of your memories without getting stuck in grief. 
Picture

Resilience

Once you learn The Grief Recovery Method®, it’s yours for life.  Use it again and again to deal with all other changes that occur, big and small.  It also helps you better support others when they are experiencing grief.

I’ve been doing very well since my sessions.  If nobody else can tell a difference, I can tell a great difference.  I’ve had some ups and downs and stressful situations, but if I had not done what I did with you, it probably would have just pushed me under.  So I’m really in a much better place, thanks to our work together and thanks to you. I’m happy to be me – let’s put it that way – and I feel good about that.  I guess that says it all.  You’re a lifesaver!

I have found the idea of viewing a long-term disease as a life change which produces feelings of grief very helpful. The explanation of unhelpful responses has helped me to change the way I react to and respond to my husband's attempts to deal with his emotions. We are better able to function as partners in dealing with our loss of future hopes and plans.
 Jinnie’s guidance and support have been excellent and the book is thorough and easily understood.
So far so good!

Jinnie Lee Schmid

Having experienced more change and loss before college than many people do in a lifetime, I know what it’s like to live with the conflicting emotions of grief:  sadness, despair, freedom, relief, guilt, hope, and more.  When I finally found something that worked to resolve my grief, I knew I wanted to help bring this freedom to others.  I was motivated to earn these credentials in order to best serve my clients: Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, Associate Certified Coach (ACC), and Certified End of Life Coach.  I’ve seen the power of grief recovery in my life and in the lives of my clients and loved ones.  I’m confident you can experience it, too, and it would be my honor to support you on that journey.
