Compassion Inspired Well-Being Solutions™
Recovering from emotional loss and pain is not an easy. However, this is where we do our best. IOIH's grief recovery programs help you navigate through loss and life changes. Our programs are evidence and practice-based methods which are effective and healing, easy to apply. We work compassionately with you to become grief-informed, help you move forward beyond your loss and experience growth and productivity in all areas of your life. We help you restore a life of joy, healing, freedom and connection beyond where you were before the loss. This is true for individuals and companies/organizations alike.
Unfortunately, we are not taught to think in terms of "our humanity" during a loss or unexpected change. Instead we dehumanize one another (even ourselves) with labels and judgements about how we "should" respond. "You need to move on", we are told or tell ourselves. We either think it is normal to do so or usually because of the societal norms and stigma we choose to "Be strong" or simply learn to get comfortable with the pain and pretend all is well and forge forward wounded.
Healing and feeling better starts today. Loss and pain no longer have to frame your present and future.
And if you have received support from counseling or therapy, we can continue to support your healing journey as a great compliment to therapeutical services, but more cost effective.

First Thing First ~ Understanding Grief
Grief is normal and natural. Grief is a human experience we all share. According to the Grief Recovery Institute®, "when something familiar ends or changes (regardless of its benefit), we experience and emotional response." This is GRIEF.
Grief shows up in ways we did not expect so often we don't recognize we are grieving. It is rare people will self-qualify themselves as "a griever", especially for any loss other than death. We ignore the pain or intentionally suppress it. When we take any action other than moving through the pain-and into peace, it can lead to genuine mood and major depressive disorders or other vices.
Yet, research shows that in our lifetime we can face 42+ grieving experiences that can adversely impact our life. Grief shows up in tone and disconnection. And this does not include all the loss and changes that COVID brought into our lives.
Another sad truth, is we have allowed our culture and society to condition us to intellectualize, rationalize or spiritualize our painful emotions in order to survive and fit in. Yet, Grief is not intellectual. Even people of faith often bury grief behind prayer and perseverance. The pain remains and we just end up stuck. Then the pain resurfaces in our health, our families, and our joy.

Make the Change
Live the Difference
Begin to feel better now.
The program helped me navigate through feelings I was experiencing and helped me uncover feelings I was not considering or recognizing. Could not have processed so much in 8 weeks without the program facilitator's guidance. Helped me see that the cloud of sadness would not be a forever thing if I worked through my thoughts and pain in the way the program guided me. Thankful that such a program is available."~
