About the Author

Marilyn Gryte, MS is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a grief educator.

She has had a clinical practice in Albany, Oregon since 1990 and travels nation-wide presenting grief education seminars.  Her lengthy background in OB nursing gives her a caring and understanding for those faced with difficult pregnancy decisions. “As a counselor I work with many people healing from painful life experiences.  Whether the loss is the death of someone loved, the loss of a relationship, an abortion, a background of abuse, loss of self-esteem, health, hopes or dreams, I find each loss asks its turn to be mourned.  The journey of healing is one of grieving and making peace.” “Loss is a life-altering experience. And so is healing. Whenever I have the privilege of being company to someone on this journey I witness a return of their energy, creativity and an increased capacity for joy. They experience life as deeper and lighter and more meaningful again.  Healing is your right. You deserve to feel whole and free again. You are worthy of joy.”
