Grief Recovery - Kerri Goodman Coaching

Wherever you are in your grief,
you don’t have to be there alone.

Steps and Support for Healing Your Heart

and Feeling Like Yourself Again.

If you're here, you may have discovered that time alone doesn’t heal grief or a hurting heart. Healing doesn't happen through waiting. Intellectualizing your grief doesn't help you heal, either.

Grieving is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith. It means you’re human, that you care deeply, and that you wish things could have been different from what they are.

If you feel stuck, you're not alone. The Grief Recovery Method offers a proven, compassionate, action-based approach to heal from the pain of emotional loss and live more fully again.

Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss, but most of what we've learned about navigating loss isn't helpful. What we try doesn't work. People say, "You need to let go and move on". We want to, but nobody tells us just how to do that.

Everyone experiences grief.

We often think about grief when a loved one dies. But many life changes and losses cause conflicting feelings that produce grief. Grief is present in the quieter losses that are unacknowledged, pushed aside, or misunderstood. Grief is also the result of unmet hopes, dreams, and expectations. Most certainly, everyone we meet is a griever. There are over 43 losses including:

Sometimes we don’t even realize we’re grieving.
We just know we feel stuck, exhausted, or “off.” Over time, life's losses can quietly pile up, leaving us carrying more than we realize.

Hello, I'm Kerri. I'm glad you're here.

Some losses stop you in your tracks. Others pile quietly on top of each other until one day you no longer feel like yourself. This was my experience. The Grief Recovery Method® was how I found freedom again.

Within just a few years, I had experienced my son’s military injury, job changes, a cross-country move, and the sudden death of my younger brother. I kept moving forward, the way most of us do. But when a significant relationship changed, something broke open. I couldn’t understand why this particular loss was the one that finally stopped me. Later I would learn it wasn’t just this loss. It was a lifetime of losses I had never fully grieved.

As a certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, I draw on my training and experience to help people navigate loss with clarity and hope. My approach is warm, evidence-based, and shaped around your unique story.

My clients often share that they feel lighter, more hopeful, and more like themselves after our work together. You deserve to feel that way, too, and you don’t have to do it alone.

When you’re ready, I’m here.

The Grief Recovery Method® is the world's only evidence-based program, offering a compassionate, action-oriented, guided approach to healing from life's losses and heartbreak.

Making a difference.

Grief doesn’t just come from death. Children experience loss through divorce, moves, changes at school, illness, or even losing a pet or friend. When these moments hit, most adults don’t know what to say or do, just as the adults didn’t in our own childhood.

This program gives you real tools to support grieving kids in ways that build trust, safety, and lifelong resilience. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, counselor, or caregiver, this program helps you show up with confidence and compassion. This course is grounded in connection and action with practical, real-life application for children of any age.

Words from those who've done the work

Everyone’s grief is unique. These testimonials reflect the impact of having tools, support, and a safe place to complete the actions with emotional honesty.

“Doing the Grief Recovery program, with Kerri as my specialist, lightened my load and words fail to express how deeply grateful I am for the experience of completing my grief. I feel relief and it’s something I want everyone to experience, because we all have grief. Thank you, Kerri!”

Rated 5 out of 5

“Kerri led each session with such wisdom, compassion, and grace, and supported me not just during our sessions but also in between—especially when I felt resistance. By the end of the program, something incredible happened: I felt truly complete and a profound sense of freedom. Two weeks later, I still feel like a new person. can’t recommend this work enough. Everyone needs what this process offers. Thank you, Kerri, and thank you to the Grief Recovery Institute. You’ve given me my life back.”
