The ONLY Evidence-based Action Program for Moving Beyond Loss
Whispering Hope specialises in the internationally-recognised Grief Recovery Method®.
More than 500,000 people across the world, in Australia, Sweden, UK and USA, have benefitted from the Grief Recovery Method® in the last 40+ years.
It is the only grief support program to have received the distinction of being evidence-based and effective (based on research conducted at the Kent State University in Ohio, USA.)
The Grief Recovery Method® will help you:
- Understand what is loss and grief
- Identify misconceptions you have about loss and grief
- Identify your coping mechanisms
- Identify how you have been affected by what others say
- Identify past losses
- Process a major loss of your choice
- Have a safe space for you to process your emotions, along with a skilled and empathetic facilitator
- Make correct choices to take small steps toward recovery.
THE PROBLEM:
We are uncomfortable with grief
We just want grief to go away!
This makes us prone to dispensing clichés and prescribing ‘quick-fix’ advice such as:
- “Give it time; you will feel better soon”
- “You must stay strong!”
- “Don’t cry; he is in a better place now”
- “Keep yourself busy and you will feel better”
- “Isn’t it time you moved on? It’s been so long.”
These are not only unhelpful, but are actually harmful, because they hinder healing and recovery.
For someone who is blindsided by tragedy or engulfed in grief, moving on is not merely an act of the will. Grief is a natural and emotional response to loss. Grief is not logical; it is emotional. Heartbreak requires healing, and that’s where we must begin.
Why prolong your pain when you can move beyond the grief? Get in touch with us today.
THE SOLUTION:
The Grief Recovery Method®
A systematic program with tools for processing our complex emotions of loss and grief
We start on the road to recovery by acknowledging the full extent of our loss, and articulating all the things we never got to say and do. Only then we will find emotional completion.
Your Grief Recovery Specialist will take you through each step of the Grief Recovery Method®, helping you take effective action to deal with your specific personal loss.
Just as a small key can unlock a large door, the Grief Recovery Method® hinges on strategic key choices that anyone can make, to take that 1% responsibility to open their heart and head to recovery.
Our goal is for you to journey towards the place of acceptance and peace, having the ability to remember and cherish past memories without the pain and guilt.
You will get there. We’re here to help you get there.

Grief Awareness Talk
Why this is needed:
- Grief is part and parcel of life. As such, we all need to learn to grieve well, so we can bounce back from life’s losses.
- But so much of what we have been told or taught about grief is wrong or misguided, and does not serve us well.
- We lack the language to describe, articulate and process our own grief, and to emphathise with others in their grief.
- Purpose: To become more aware about the pervasiveness of grief, what losses / events / changes can cause grief, and gain a better understanding of what grief really is
- Goal: To become more self-aware as individuals, and to become more empathetic towards those who grieve
Grief Sensitivity Training (For Leaders & Managers)
Why this is needed:
- Leaders today, in both corporate or community settings, need to be equipped to handle situations of loss and grief.
- Most of us are at a loss when confronted with someone in grief. We struggle with knowing what to say.
- What’s worse, in trying to avoid awkward conversations, we end up avoiding the person altogether — at a time when they need us the most!
- Purpose: To equip leaders and managers with practical tools and tips on how to relate with those in grief
- Goal: More supportive teams and communities, with healthier and more productive individuals, who are able to recover from life’s losses and bounce back from grief and failure.
