Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
The certification training was phenomenal! Walking through the method myself and doing the personal work was priceless. I will continue to use the method to heal myself and I can't wait to help others. I'm finishing the training feeling confident and I know the method works!

I just completed the four day online GRMC program. This program is complete and offers so much training for Specialists in presenting this program to people who are in pain from their grief. Highly recommend!

I went through the GRM process three times with a friend before attending the training. Initially, I anticipated working on a group of related behaviors (specifically, bullies), but I soon realized that the process still required focusing on one individual at a time. During the training, I was also asked if there were any other family members or friends I needed to work with, so I chose to apply the process to my sibling. The results were truly surprising, as I experienced significant breakthroughs, healing, and relief. The effectiveness of the process was beyond what I expected, and I am incredibly grateful to be part of this community, learning valuable skills that will help others on their healing journey as well!

On the fence about becoming a certified Grief Recovery Specialist? If you want to help people heal from the pain of loss, then I can say with 100% confidence, both by doing the Grief Recovery Method myself, AND now being certified, that this training delivered the most professional, practical & precise information and tool out there for taking people from in pain & stuck to relieved and free. Definitely the best investment I me, and others, that i've ever made.

This training is absolutely life changing. I have done talk therapy, IFS and DBR and nothing has removed the pain from my loss like GRM has. I look forward to doing more work with this method on myself and helping others to do the same. Such a valuable tool

While attending the GRM Certification Training I was struck by how knowledgeable the Trainers were! The whole experience was professional and included an environment of safety and competency. I am amazed at how much I learned and how much support is available moving forward. Thank you very much for this incredible experience.

Helping others has been a cornerstone to my loss recovery from losing my girls in a murder suicide. This training has helped me take the next step in my own journey, and has provided me with invaluable resources to continue helping others navigate their grief.

This is a training unlike any other. My instructor, Sandi was amazing and made it easy to stay engaged. I came in thinking I would be focusing on the loss of my husband as the personal experience I would sort through and ended up releasing a totally different type of loss. This method works and I wish I would've found it sooner. I cannot wait to share this method with others.

"The Grief Recovery Method training was truly life-changing. It provided me with tools, understanding, and support to process grief in a way I never thought possible. The structured approach helped me not only acknowledge and navigate my grief but also equipped me to support others with compassion and confidence. This training goes beyond theory—it offers real, actionable steps toward healing. I feel empowered to help others find peace and closure in their grief journey. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to transform their relationship with loss and recovery."

This was a transformative training that I will be able to implement in my personal and professional life. My facilitator was gentle, aware, gracious, and supportive as she guided us through this journey. I hope that I can be just amazing as Sandi Derby. I definitely recommend anyone to sign-up for this work.

Before this training I was not aware that grief can be completed. I lost my mother at age 10 and never did I imagine there was a process were I could learn to let it go and and feel at piece with her death. I am so very excited to be able to take this training to incarcerated people and start helping them achieve healing while being incarcerated.

The Grief Recovery method is life-changing. It is not a grief support or a grief share group. It is learning how to process grief, heal, and move beyond the pain. as they say in brief recovery, pain is not normal. Sorrow is.

The Training was first class. The Grief Recovery Method really works and has made a difference to my life. I can't recommend it enough.

This is so much more than a training. It's a healing process which guides you to help others learn to heal.

I came in contact with GRM when my mother passed away seven years ago. I was so attracted to the specific steps to come to completion of a major loss. When I decided to take the training I stated ,’I’m doing it to further my personal recovery of grief.” I was so completely enthralled with the presentation of the GRM by my facilitator, Sandi Darby, her compassion leapt through my computer. It was so inspiring I quickly changed my mind and am so enthusiastic to take grieves through the method. With over three decades of 12 step recovery, various self help intensives and grief therapy through Hospice, this work is truly transformative and works if you work it. Tried and true, GRM gives you the tools to bring all your losses to completion.

Superseded what i exoected on a deeply personal level and i can continue the work with other losses in my life . The quantity of knowledge on a method to help others with their grief gave me hope to really get down to the bottom of all the unresolved emotional challenges that keep most stuck in their pain from Loss.

It was such a gift to be able to do this at the heart of the holiday season, I feel so much lighter and my mind and heart is more open to my current situation and others that are grieving.

To thank-you.

I was amazed how quickly and deep this method works. I did work through the method a few years ago with a friend after reading the hand book. it was a lot harder than when done with a registered specialist. It felt like I was in safe hands and am now excited about being able to guide others through this program so others can feel lighter and free of constraints. I am looking forward to meeting others connected to the method. I have already met wonderful people throughout the training as well. Very Positive.
