Michelet’s Legacy Grief Coaching Program
(A Loving Heart Behavior & Rehabilitation Services Program)
If you found yourself here, there is a high probability that you, or someone you love is suffering from a broken heart. Is it due to a death, divorce or another major loss? If so you might feel sad, distracted, or confused. You are not alone.
Grief is normal and natural, but many of the ideas we have been taught about dealing with grief are not helpful.
Michelet’s Legacy Grief Coaching Program exists to help individuals normalize and embrace their emotions during the grief process.
· There are many different ways to treat prolonged grief disorder, including narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral interventions, so we’ll ensure we find the right approach to suit your needs. We are also experts in helping people with a specific technique called complicated grief therapy.
How It works
People come to us not only to help others, but because their lives were devastated by personal loss. Having gone through grief, they know how hard it can be and want to help others who are also grieving.
Our seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
Strategies are suggested and practiced to help the bereaved have the tools and support their need to cope with their loss without feeling alone and emotionally distraught
