It's Time For you to be Understood
Hi, I'm Yolanda!
I understand unthinkable losses. I understand struggle. I understand bad health. I understand having a challenging childhood and rising above statistics, trauma and obstacles… because that was my journey!
And I understand the need for help and actionable tools as you try to move forward from a tough loss in your life.
But first…
Congratulations for having the courage to take a step toward finding answers to the questions you have and relief for the pain you feel.
My name is Yolanda Mitchum and I am honored to have the opportunity to briefly share my story, a little about my loss, why I became a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, and why I started H3Haven as a faith-based connection to help you find answers.
The hope is that you will see a little of yourself in my story and know you can move forward.
I will never fully understand exactly how you feel (no one will), but I can walk with you through personal losses to reach YOUR healing.

What Clients have Said...
Joining Yolanda’s Grief Recovery Method program through H3Haven allowed me to face my emotions and embrace healing. Writing a letter to my sister freed me from anger and guilt, inspiring me to create an empowerment organization for young girls in her memory. This program also taught me the importance of truly listening rather than just speaking. I am deeply grateful to Yolanda and H3Haven for guiding me through this journey and helping me grieve in a way that brought peace and purpose. I now have the tools to support others on their healing journey.
As a healthcare provider, I thought I could handle loss, but losing patients and friends was tougher than I expected. When Yolanda became a grief recovery specialist, she encouraged me to explore this journey. I initially hesitated but soon realized I needed this support. Now, I understand that grief recovery is essential for everyone, no matter their age or circumstance. Whether it’s losing a pet or a friend from school, we all experience loss differently. I encourage you to consider someone who could benefit from this program and support H3Haven’s mission.
In 2001, I lost my husband, and over the years, I faced additional losses, including my grandmother and cousin, leaving me feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. I initially struggled with a grief group but found real support with H3Haven in 2023. Their approach helped me process not only recent losses but also unresolved grief from my past, bringing healing. As an African American preacher, I’ve learned the importance of addressing grief properly and not letting it turn into bitterness. I encourage others to seek help, as H3Haven’s support has truly been transformative.
After losing both my son and my husband, I felt unreachable and resisted help. Meeting Yolanda Mitchum changed everything. Her knowledge, compassion, and firm yet gentle approach allowed me to heal in ways I never imagined. There were moments when I wanted to quit, but she never wavered, always offering patience and encouragement. By the final session, I experienced a release and freedom I hadn’t felt in years. Though I still grieve, I can now cope and move forward with peace. I’m grateful I stayed the course and highly recommend this program.
Grief Recovery had a profoundly positive impact on my life. With the support and guidance of my specialist, Yolanda, I learned to navigate complex emotions and process my grief in a healthy way.

Beyond my personal journey, this course gave me valuable insight and resources to better support my parishioners facing grief or mental health challenges, allowing me to offer them comfort and guidance.
Yolanda’s kindness and love for people made it easy for me to heal both personally and professionally. The Grief Recovery Program through H3Haven allowed me to let go of past burdens, find forgiveness, and move forward with peace and understanding.

I have recommended this program to friends, family, and colleagues, knowing it can truly make a difference in their healing journey.
Hello,My name is Walter Gaston, and I'm a widower. When my wife passed away, I spent a long time grieving improperly. I didn't realize it until I spoke to Yolanda, and I attended her Grief Recovery Method program. Not only did she understand my grief, but she was also able to identify the blind spots in my grieving process. She was very empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional. I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to participate in her grief recovery program. The quality of my life is now better, and I've successfully been able to move forward.
As a leader in the youth ministry, an older sister, and a mentor, I have seen many children struggle with loss. Enrolling in H3Haven’s program was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The Grief Recovery Method—Helping Children With Loss program, led by Yolanda Mitchum, has given me the tools and understanding needed to support grieving children. Yolanda’s guidance, patience, and expertise make this process incredibly impactful. The sessions are eye-opening, and I am grateful for this experience. I will continue to share H3Haven’s mission with others.
I had the honor of attending H3Haven’s Grief Recovery Method sessions, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health. Going through this process was challenging, but Yolanda’s guidance made all the difference. She is compassionate, patient, and truly listens, creating a space where healing can begin. The sessions helped me in ways I never expected, and I am incredibly grateful. This experience has been life-changing, and I will absolutely recommend H3Haven to anyone who is struggling with loss.
I enrolled in this program because of the death of my daughter. This was by far one of the most difficult tasks I have had since she passed. Johnette (my daughter) passed away from COVID in August of 2021. I started Grief Recovery in April of 2022. This has definitely been an emotional rollercoaster ride but I got through it with Yolanda’s help. Yolanda is very patient and caring, she pretty much holds your hand through the process. She is a very effective listener and the atmosphere is calming. I will definitely be referring H3Haven to those that have lost love ones.
