Emotional Strengthening
About Derrick
I began my journey into emotional strengthening and grief recovery because my heart was numb. Life had a way of burying my pain beneath a layer of busyness, but I couldn’t ignore the weight I was carrying. It wasn’t until I took the Grief Recovery course that I confronted the unresolved pain of losing my father, who passed away when I was in the sixth grade.
Through the course, I was guided to complete my relationship with my father—something I hadn’t realized I was still holding onto. Deep down, I had been waiting for him to come back, to talk to me, to help me. When I was finally able to communicate to my heart that he was truly gone, a weight lifted. The heaviness and pain that had been a quiet constant were replaced with a profound sense of peace. I still remember the good and the bad, but those memories are no longer tethered to grief.
This transformation inspired me to help others experience the same freedom I found. I became certified in Grief Recovery, not just to teach others how to navigate their pain but to offer them a space where healing is possible. I believe everyone deserves the chance to free their hearts and rediscover joy, and it is my mission to guide them there.
