The Heart of Grief – Podcast Episodes Listen Now

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve experienced at least one painful loss that continues to limit your life and leave an ache in your heart. The Heart of Grief exposes why the normal ways we respond to loss typically fail to provide the help we need. Lorri Penner and Brian Magee are active Certified Grief Recovery Specialists®. You’ll hear bits of their personal grief journeys, but more, you’ll learn about practical actions you can take to move toward healing.  Please send comments or questions to: feedback@theheartofgrief.com

Our Grief Recovery® programs, are educational in nature. They are not professional psychological counselling. Do you need help now? Are you in crisis? Are you experiencing thoughts of hurting or killing yourself? If so, please reach out for help.

The GRIEF Recovery method


The Grief Recovery Method® Group Program is a structured, 8-week group experience which creates a safe environment in which to look at old, unhelpful beliefs about dealing with loss and take recovery actions which lead to completion of the pain attached to bereavement. There are usually 3 separate 8-week sessions that take place at Martin Brothers Funeral Chapel each year. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method® Specialists and Martin Brothers’ staff, Brian Magee, Lorri Penner RSW, and Trudie Slomp. Participant numbers are limited. Please call us at 403.328.2361 for more information.

NOTE: We now offer these programs in an online format for those who are unable to attend in person
