What is the Grief Mentor Method™?
Many people still cling to the now defunct “Five Stages of Grief” out of desperation and to have some sort of process to follow. Our trademarked curriculum, The Grief Mentor Method™, is informed by Meghan’s clinical training in trauma, neuroscience, bioscience, grief theory, attachment theory, energy work, integrative nutrition, and various spiritual and cultural traditions.
The Grief Mentor Method™ offers a clear framework and comprehensive process to first explore and ultimately meet your specific needs in grief. The method allows for multiple entry points where a griever can both identify their strengths in navigating loss and discover their growth edges. So whether you are diving in or disconnected from your feelings, The Grief Mentor Method™ encourages you to identify ways in which you would like to grow and change in grief, and provides guidance in how to to try it.
Grievers are often told to feel their feelings without a clear understanding of what that means or what to do. Rather than instruct, The Grief Mentor Method™ suggests ways to access your feelings, and empower you with new learning tools as you learn to navigate loss. Without a model to follow, the enormity of loss can be far too overwhelming.
This comprehensive curriculum highlights six pillars of content that are critical to creating much needed grief-informed culture change for individuals, workplaces, and the world at large. Centered on exploring concepts of Mindfulness, Energy, Nourishment, Translation, Outside, Ritual and Rest, this innovative and proven process helps to instill lasting confidence, impactful skills, and enduring hope to grievers and their supporters.
“Corporate America has an opportunity for cultural leadership by transforming the way grief is addressed.”
