Peggy J. Akrigg, MSW, LMSW, of Families In Transition Counseling Services completed the training/certification process and is now a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®; and is facilitating individual sessions utilizing The Grief Recovery Method®. Akrigg is working to provide this approach in a group setting in early 2015. The Grief Recovery Method® is an action program for moving beyond loss. There are 43 losses which can produce the range of emotions that we call grief. The long list includes: death, divorce (or the end of a relationship), loss of health, major financial change, moving, and many others. Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct action choices made by the griever. It's a comprehensive approach to deal with losses of all kinds and all levels of emotional impact. If you have experienced one of more losses and you wish to move beyond the pain, the program offers you the probability of a richer and more rewarding life. For more information about The Grief Recovery Method®, please contact Akrigg at 586-770-2465

DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Selfridge, the namesake of Selfridge Air National Guard Base, is most generally known as the early Army pilot who became the first person to die in an airplane crash, while flying with Orville Wright in 1908. Lesser known is that Thomas Selfridge was also the first member of the U.S. military to pilot an "aeroplane" and the first to design an airplane, both of which he accomplished while working with famed inventor Alexander Graham Bell earlier in 1908.
