WORK THROUGH PERSONAL UNRESOLVED GRIEF WHILE LEARNING TO SUPPORT OTHERS WITH AN ICF-ACCREDITED GRIEF COACH CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

PROGRAMS SUITED FOR INDIVIDUALS, COACHES, AND BUSINESSES

LIVE VIA ZOOM PROGRAM   |  HYBRID PROGRAM   |   SELF-DIRECTED ONLINE PROGRAM

Learn to coach others through the loss of loved ones using a proven, non-therapeutic, compassion-led methodology. Program is ideal for those with some coaching experience, professional health care providers, death care professionals, educational and religious organizations, and individuals with a compassionate heart and passion to serve and make a difference. The From Grief to Gratitude Coach Certification Program is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

WHY DO WE GRIEVE ANYWAY?  WE GRIEVE BECAUSE WE LOVED.

Grieving is not a disease. It is a necessity that follows no linear pattern. Grief coaching, an untapped non-therapeutic paradigm, shifts the perspective that grief is an illness that needs to be treated, fixed, or cured. Instead, it empowers individuals to open themselves up to allow the normal and natural responses to loss … giving themselves permission to grieve. Thereafter, helping them to navigate through and thrive in their own personal sense of new normalcy. Grief coaching does not infer, provide, or replace professional counseling, therapy, or mental health services.


Our mission is to educate on the misunderstood and often avoided sensitive topic of grief; train and certify professional grief coaches to help individuals move from pain to peace, heartbreak to happiness, and grief to gratitude in the shortest time possible; and, to help organizations create compassionate and grief-informed workplace cultures.

After her mother died many years ago, Barri Leiner Grant, 56, a certified grief coach in Chicago, played host to a group event for motherless daughters. “I realized that we don’t ‘get over’ grief; we learn to live with the loss,” Grant says. Recognizing the need for more support, Grant was inspired to start “the Memory Circle,” a grief group for anyone coping with loss."

WHY BECOME A FROM GRIEF TO GRATITUDE CERTIFIED COACH?

Death is an equal opportunity event that will directly or indirectly affect every individual, community, or organization at some point. The more we know about grief, what it is, and why we grieve, the better we are able to deal with the inevitable occasion of loss. As grief coaches, we do not treat, fix, or cure grief. We do educate and support on this sensitive experience that is unique to each of us.  Our programs are accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
