Why Grief Recovery?

In 2017, Filly decided to embrace a long-time passion. Grief counseling!

One would wonder why grief and how could this be a passion?

During the years, it seems that personal loss has followed Filly closely. As a 12-year old child, she lost her beloved father to heart disease. In 1990, her fiancé drowned while on a scuba diving trip. Filly’s beautiful and lovable mother, Anna, passed of lung cancer in 2003. Then in 2010, the unthinkable occurred. Her stepfather, Vincent, with whom she was exceedingly close, was assaulted in his home and died nine days later at a local hospital from this horrific act. Filomena worked tirelessly with her family for four years to bring the murderer to justice. Shortly after this grueling task was completed, Ms. Mazzone was told that her partner of 21 years, Ralph, had a serious heart disease and needed a heart transplant. Ralph passed in 2015. This most recent heartbreak led her to a “call to action” and she signed up for the Grief Recovery Method® certification class to help others with their grieving. Filomena flew to Atlanta, GA in 2017, completed her certification, and became a certified Grief Recovery® Specialist. In 2018, Filomena completed her advanced training with the Grief Recovery Institute and is now certified to teach the Grief Recovery Method® in a class setting, on a one-to-one basis, and online for those interested in completing this course electronically.

Filomena is available as a keynote speaker, for educational seminars, or to facilitate panel discussions.

Client in Port Orange, FL

I have known Filomena professionally for the last 15 years as a colleague within a large healthcare system. Ms. Mazzone was always passionate about her work and the development and mentoring of her team. Of all my leaders, Filomena was the most hard working, dedicated and loyal to her peers and the organization. I have the utmost respect for her strong moral code, which was never compromised during difficult organizational transitions. What is so very special about Filomena, however, is her sense of humor, lively spirit and warmth which engages all who meet her.

Before, I wondered if grief was normal or if other people would feel this or that way. But after being in the One-on-One Program of the Grief Recovery Method with Filly, I understood that grieving is a process and that I had to work on it by saying “good-bye” to the loss and the suffering, but not to my loved one. Filly made me feel very comfortable during the sessions because of her compassion, competence and professionalism.
