Anchored Collective simply put is about stories of truth, hope, courage, love and unity. We are will walk through this together. Anchored Collective uses the Grief Recovery Method (GRM) from the Grief Recovery Institute. It is an evidence based program. GRM is an action based program helping grievers move through grief to recovery. Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct choices. Recovery means feeling better. Recovery is finding new meaning for living without the fear of being hurt again. Recovery is bein able to enjoy fond memories with having them turn painful. Recovery from a signifigant emotional loss is not an easy task. Taking the actions that lead to recovery will require your attention, open-mindedness, wiliness and courage.

Legacy
All that made me think of the wake we leave. Our wakes don’t lie. Our wake is what we leave behind, its our record. We as human beings have an awesome opportunity as we sail ahead in life. We can either sail through or plow through like a wrecking ball. It’s a choice on how we live and love. Have you ever heard the phrase “Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished” Laozi. I used to be a wrecking ball…now I’m trying to be a gentle human creating a beautiful wake. Not hurrying but accomplishing my purpose. I appreciate that our lives are like a work of art, unique, beautiful, messy and full possibilities…we are just like a new painting having so much possibility. We have the opportunity to leave a life well lived behind us seen in the people whose lives we touched.
Helpful things to say a friend who is grieving
Grievers hear their loved ones say these things that aren’t helpful and are often hurtful without that being their intent. But we all know the road to hell is paved with good intensions. I have been that loving friend who tried to make it better (I’m a fixer), take away the pain and move onto to something else. “Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened” Dear Lord …I was that person…no griever ever needs to hear that!! I never realized that I wasn’t helping at all.
Let's talk about trust
I had broken his trust and he didn’t know yet. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t go to work. I curled up in a ball. I was about to lose everything. It wasn’t until that moment I knew that I truly loved him. That I had found love, the love I had craved. Maybe it didn’t start out right. Maybe it was a young and impulsive kind of love…. But we had the best conversations, laughed together, like each other and loved each other. Now, I had destroyed all of it. It was my own fault and I deserved to lose him.
