Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
The Grief Recovery Method is the best method to grown mentally, emotionally and spiritually for all kinds of losses. I cannot think of one loss that this Method would not help. It is intense, understandable, and the steps are obtainable. As a newbie, I am truly honored to be a part of this Grief Recovery Specialist community.

After losing my career and grieving the death of a dear friend and colleague, I found myself searching for healing. That search led me to the Grief Recovery Method certification program—a decision that transformed my understanding of grief and my ability to help others navigate loss. In just four days, our exceptional instructor Jocelyn guided our team of complete beginners to become certified Grief Recovery Method Specialists. Her expertise made complex concepts accessible, and the clarity of the training materials was outstanding—every element purposefully designed to ensure we could confidently apply these life-changing methods. The program gave me the tools to turn my own experience with loss into a source of strength and service for others. I'm now equipped to help people recover from grief in all its forms—death, divorce, job loss, and the countless other losses we face. This certification has given me more than credentials—it's given me purpose. I'm grateful to the Grief Recovery Institute for creating such a comprehensive program that prepares specialists to make a real difference during people's most difficult moments.

The trainer was very thorough in delivering the Grief Recovery Method. Her patience and tone was very helpful. Especially, even when some emotions arose from within me while doing my son’s Relationship Graph. And this was on live with the other participants. Jocelyn walked me through and helped me to calm down and talk me through my emotions. It was an awesome experience and a great class and would do it all over again. Thank you for the opportunity to learn how to help others have hope again. Blessings!

i appreciate the added value this Certification class adds to not only my credentials personally, but to the value it has the potential to add in my community, given "willing participants". The on line training was convenient. The after-class support is incredible, the resources extensive, and.. following the Method really works to relieve emotional pain! Thank you! - Jennifer

I was surprised at how well the training went for a four day certification. It was hard work and very rewarding afterwards. Having a well trained teacher help and who supports everyone in the classroom/ video classroom. I am excited to have invested my time in learning how to help myself and now to help others. Thank you Ed.

I have high praise for the Grief Recovery Method training for its intensive and hands-on approach to healing grief. Through Sandi's amazing training, I learned not only about my own personal healing, but I am now equipped with the tools to help others. I was most impressed that the training effectively addressed various types of loss, from dealing with death to relationship breakdowns, to career setbacks. The Certification training provided me with a structured path to emotional healing and ultimately, well-being.

This method is life changing. I was able to complete my relationship with my Dad and learn alot about myself! Can’t wait to help others do the same

The Certification Training was in-depth, revelatory, and extremely well organized. Most importantly for me, though, was Sandi's authenticity and stable, compassionate presence. She and every student were honest, open, and vulnerable while following instructions perfectly for holding space (heart with ears/no mouth ;-) Because of them, I was able to feel safe and be open, genuine, and vulnerably honest as well which helped me experience personally how powerful, and healing The Grief Recovery Method is and will be for my clients (and my own future completions). I experienced a profound internal shift and release that was so unexpected, and SO needed! I feel free! I am deeply grateful for this training and Sandi's leadership, modeling, and mentoring abilities.

This was a gift of an experience! I am so grateful to have learned the method and now have the knowledge and tools to provide this to my community. Jocelyn is exceptional! She provided excellent facilitation and modeled what I believe GRM is all about as she did so with compassion, patience, understanding, confidence all the while reassuring, encouraging, validating, and connecting with me/my group. Thank you!!!!

Heart language is true language and we all have learned to speak it and hold the space for others to do the same. This weekend was absolutely invaluable. I feel so loved and seen and valued and I hope I can make others feel the same. My journey is just starting to expand in ways I can only give glory to God for. The timing of this whole experience is nothing short of divine.
