Once that is up and running I will be more diligent with posting on this FB page as well. In case anyone is interested, or knows someone who has unresolved grief, I will be holding the next Grief Recovery Method workshop on Tuesday nights starting 18 April at Victoria Point. This workshop will be once a week for seven weeks. With hugs, Doreen

17.01.2022 In just a few days it is Christmas Day, a time when a number of souls grieve for the emptiness, the loss, the aloneness of the season. Could I encourage those whose hearts are well to think of one person, two people, maybe even three who have lost someone close to them - it may have been a month ago, a year ago or five years ago - grief has no time limit ... and check in with them. Send a text message or an email or call them on the phone. Let them know you are thinking o...f them at this time and ask them how their heart is doing? It is important for the griever to have others share a memory or two of the loved one who is no longer with us. It doesn't have to be a sad, morbid time but a time of celebration and of laughter. We are humans beings in need at this time of year and need to reach out to others who are struggling. So as God gave us the gift of His Son (which is the reason why we celebrate this season), let's give the gift of remembering the ones that are not with us anymore and showing how we can still remember them and celebrate their lives. It will be your greatest gift to someone this Christmas. from my heart to yours, have a blessed Christmas Doreen See more

16.01.2022 Thursday last week a friend from OM days (Operation Mobilisation - an international mission organised I had spent six years with) died. Then on Friday another friend of over 25 years who is living currently in Canada, because of the struggles she is going through, decided to distance herself from everyone and shut down most friendships. Though she had put this into place about eight months ago, I held onto the hope that she would reach out and want to stay in touch. Unfort...unately she decided Friday that she had nothing left to give and chose to cut all ties. Whether because of a death or another loss, grief affects us all, and affects us in different ways. I experienced a few days of incredible sadness where the pain sat on my shoulders like a heavy blanket before I decided I could not function like this and it was time to do grief recovery on myself. Going through the recovery components and completing the pain of the losses enabled me to begin a new relationship with fond memories and without the pain that the losses created. When we are sick, we go to the doctor. When we have a broken bone we make sure we have it mended so that we don't end up crippled. Why are we not kind to ourselves then when we are in pain because of a loss? Why do we hold on to our grief and allow it to cripple us instead of learning the correct tools to enable ourselves to be complete? Grief Recovery is for past, present and future losses. Why not find out more? See more

14.01.2022 It is remiss of me not to share with you that my website has been up and running for awhile now. Thank you to Lauren A for all her help in putting it together. Please share the website should you feel it appropriate ... it is www.griefrecoveryredlands.net with thankfulness, Doreen

12.01.2022 Thought for the weekend

10.01.2022 An hour ago I posted an encouragement to those whose hearts are well to reach out to those who find this time of year difficult. I would like to now encourage those who are struggling ... please don't isolate yourself this Christmas season which is what we feel we need to do when we are finding it difficult because we think we shouldn't inflict our pain, loneliness, sorrow, heartache, negative thoughts/feelings onto others. Let me challenge you to be with others at this time of year because people need people. Working at a homeless shelter; taking up that offer to join others for lunch or dinner; picking up the phone and calling someone else; speaking that loved one's name and sharing a memory can help you feel other than burdened with pain. I wish you peace and contentedness. From my heart to yours, Doreen

05.01.2022 The next Grief Recovery workshop will begin on 2 May 2017 in Victoria Point. Should you know of anyone wishing to participate in this workshop it is on a Tuesday night for seven weeks starting at 7pm. Registration must be completed beforehand. Please direct all enquiries to www.griefrecoveryredlands.net where they can register. From my heart to yours. Doreen

04.01.2022 Though my intention was to post regularly the reality is that I am just not that type of girl ... as one can clearly see by the absence of any posts in the last year. We'll see what eventuates this year but please don't hold your breath waiting, just in case I falter once again. I thought however I would make a start and share with you something out of the current book I am reading .... "A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a ...time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences. Piece by piece, those decisions help to form the people we become." I love reflecting on words like this and applying it to my life, or at least seeing how it can be applied, because obviously the choices/decisions we make not only help form the people we become but also touches those around us. Throughout 2018 I was fortunate to have held many Grief Recovery workshops as well as one-on-one sessions and I continue to be grateful that not only am I able to share these tools with others but I use them on myself. Let's face it, it would be silly to rave on about how great the program was if I didn't go through the process myself. As recently as last week I had to sit down and work through the recovery components to complete the pain of a loss associated with my work. Sometimes I can be a little slow though so I wallowed for a couple of week and grieved a lot until finally I decided enough was enough and began doing some work on myself. When going through the process it became very clear to me how "pride" (my pride in my achievements) was a stumbling block. The decision I made to complete the pain of the loss and the choice to honestly work through it provided me with more clarity and peace than I have had in weeks. A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences. I trust as you go into 2019 that you are able to look positively at the series of little lives you have every day and that you see them full of challenges and adventures and that you live them with no regrets. Please feel free to message me about the Grief Recovery Method program should you be interested or know of anyone who may wish to begin their journey towards completion of pain and loss. With a heart hug to all, Doreen
