A Novel Approach to Grief and Loss:

The Healthy Grieving Resolution Program was developed by David Cope as an educational program that allows individuals to heal from their pain of grief in a gradual, unfolding process. This groundbreaking program applies many of the fundamental principles of the human experience of grief and loss into an eight-week program. This educational program is a healing modality providing the framework for individuals to gradually heal from the pain of grief and loss.

The Healthy Grieving Resolution Program is based upon the following principals of grief and loss:

1. Grief is a normal and natural human experience. The program has a very powerful way for individuals to grasp the human experience of grief and loss and to normalize their personal experience of this natural human experience.
2. Healing cannot take place at the level of a person’s story. The mind creates stories as a way to avoid the true feelings of loss and grief – the pain of loss is essentially suppressed by the stories. The program teaches individuals to safely transcend the stories of their loss and enter into their heart to express the truth of their experience where healing can begin to unfold.
3. In every experience of grief and loss, there is an opportunity for growth and change with the awareness of the gift of the loss. This gift unfolds within the program and allows individuals to open their heart to the experience. The acknowledgment of this gift makes it functionally impossible to maintain the pain of the loss – it naturally dissipates over time.
4. A broken heart is a closed heart. It is not possible for an individual to see the gift of loss as long as they maintain an emotional attachment to the pain and loss. The program teaches individuals how to feel their feelings around their loss, which is extremely effective in healing the emotional pain of the loss. From this fresh and unencumbered perspective, an individual can be open to the gift from the loss and clearly articulate it from their heart.

The benefits of this program are quite remarkable. The pain of the grief and loss is resolved which allows an individual to have a fresh and healthy perspective of their loss and a renewed attitude about moving forward constructively in their life. This educational program also instills individuals with a healthy view towards grief and loss and provides effective tools to face and manage future experiences of loss which are so common in the human experience.

While the Healthy Grieving Program will work effectively for all individuals regardless of age, it is not for everybody; it does require courage to look within and a readiness to move on through the grieving process. For those of you who understand that the greatest opportunity for personal growth comes from the biggest challenges in life, you will embrace this process as a wonderful gift to yourself.
