I’m Julie Blitzer, a Grief Recovery Method (GRM) Specialist based in Westport, CT. Through Authentic Matters, I provide compassionate grief support that enables my clients to navigate heart-aching experiences with grace.For much of my life, my M.O. was to repress feelings, including grief. Now, however, I no longer fear big feelings. I know there is great power in acknowledging them, and helping others do the same.
