Trying various counseling and grief programs, the only thing that ever worked was The Grief Recovery Method, and now he works with the Grief Recovery Institute.His story is one of heartache and perseverance in the midst of grief, and is proof that there can be renewed hope after loss.Join Kelli and Ed as they discuss healing, the grief journey, child loss, and the difficulties of having a healthy relationship with unresolved grief.
