Meet Michael Smith

Michael Smith Grief Recovery Services offers an action plan designed to help you complete your relationship to pain, isolation, and loneliness caused by a significant emotional loss.

I have had the great privilege to help several people complete the Grief Recovery Method Outreach Program. I specialize in teaching people the tools of Grief Recovery which helps them to break through the challenges that hold them back from realizing their dreams and futures. The tools work!!

In 2008, after finally facing the consequences of hurting those closest to me due to drug use and infidelity, a close friend introduced me to Grief Recovery through my spiritual community. The Outreach Program gave me the structure and tools to heal from my inner wounds. After applying the tools in my personal life for a couple of years, I became a Certified Specialist in 2010.

My childhood was fun and adventurous, summer camps, and boy scouts from the time I was 7 years old. These activities though considered normal, were accompanied by several family relocations and personal losses, a dynamic that led to feelings of isolation, insecurity and lost control. To deal with the stress, and grief I developed the same coping skills I learned from my caregivers; denial and repression.

It is my strong passion to help this generation grow up free from the bondage of unresolved grief that leads to addictions of all kinds and a life of wasted potential.
