Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
Going through the Grief Recovery Method training has been a very rewarding experience for me on a personal level. Doing the Loss History Graph, the Relationship Graph, the Final Statement, and the Completion Letter have worked wonders for my personal journey through my grief and loss. This is a program that I will recommend to every person who's dealing the many loss that life throws at us. If you are dealing with the challenges of your own personal loss - whatever those challenges may be - going through the Grief Recovery Method program will change your life, and help you to regain control of your everyday experiences.

My experience at the training was overwhelmingly positive. The trainer’s patience, compassion, and empathy with us, individually and as a unit, was in evidence all throughout the training. The emotional honesty each person shared turned 14 strangers into a family - I have never experienced this type of transformation so totally so quickly.

As a pastor, I had been using the Grief Recovery Handbook to help members of my church deal with death and divorce. (Even though the Handbook explicitly says not to - see page 2 - I apologize GRM!) I finally decided to get certified and was amazed at how much I still needed to learn as well as discover some of the mistakes I was doing in using the Method. On a personal note, taking the training revealed a blindspot to me that I was engaging in the Myth of "Be Strong for Others." As a pastor I am comfortable being there to support grievers, but never take the time to deal with my own grief. After 11 years of holding onto grief, I was finally able to feel safe enough share my emotions over the loss of my dad.

I have had the desire to take this Training Course for 7 years. But life and finances did not permit until now. Let me tell you, it was worth every penny spent and budget cut I took to make it! I honestly, cannot imagine, enjoying it any better, or learning what I hoped too. My Instructor (Bobbie Rill) was AMAZING! I truly feel confident in the process and in what I learned in just a few days, to carry this message forward to as many people as I can. The class time is well spent, the materials are presented with ease and if you have a willing heart, you will learn and gain much! ~ I came away READY to hold my First 8 Week Session ~ You Will Too!

Working with patient and family dealing with Chronic and Serious illness for 10 plus years, this method works if you are true to your self and follow it seriously!

Without a doubt this is a phenomenally effective method and a noble cause which I am honored to now be trained in. It helped me tremendously when nothing else has and I am so inspired and excited to be able to truly help others in the future.

I had a really good experience at my 4 day training. It was hard work and emotional but well worth the time and energy. It changed my life.

I found the Grief Recovery Method Training to be applicable, genuine and very helpful. I wish I had found this program 20 years ago when my Dad died, it could have spared me years of fatigue, grief and confusion. Thank you for this superb training.

Wow--just "recovering" from my 4-day training. Tons of information shared during the training that was in addition to the material shared in the handbook and will be helpful in presentations. It's going to take some time to "sink in." The material supplied was exceptional. The sincerity of the presenter (Jocelyn) was evident from the time of our introductions. I would highly recommend the experience.

As an ordained minister, I like to think that I know a fair amount about grief and helping people who have experienced loss. However, the Grief Recovery Method is a refreshing approach that actually empowers grievers to recover in a healthy, whole-person way. I can't wait to offer Grief Recovery Method Groups at my church.

Taking the certification training has prepared me to help those I meet with deal with grief and loss that has consumed them for too long. I was personally changed and look forward to being an instrument of change in someone else’s life.

I had a fantastic experience participating in the Grief Recovery Certification Training. Not only did I process a very heavy loss that has been weighing on me, I also received immeasurable support in being able to help others on their journey to recovery.

Having wanted to do this training for over a year, it did not let me down. It was very emotionally raw but I left feeling like I was leaving such heavy weights in Brighton and that I could go forward and do so much good from what I had learned.

This training is a must-do! Grief is all around us, and we (therapists) are so often on the front lines. This method armed me for my work and I can't wait to begin using it with the people I try to help!

Well, yes: The training was so rich and giving that I'm actually thinking about shifting my business from mainly coaching to mainly grief work.

I gained so much both personally and professionally by attending The Grief Recovery Specialist training. I went with an open and and was completely blown away by the whole experience. I now feel completely at peace with grief that I now realise was unresolved. Through taking part in this I now feel energised. I feel passionate about wanting to helping others. I have met some amazing, strong and wonderful people who I now am proud to say will be my friends for life. Don't hesitate in taking part - just do it!!

I have been a nurse for the past 38 years. I wish I had known about the grief recovery method years ago. I think of all the patients and families I could have helped, as well as the earlier intervention for myself. I am very grateful that I now know about it, and for the help it gave me. I am now certified and have the tools so I can help others. This is a program that works!

The Grief Recovery Method has given me tools in enhancing my clinical knowledge and understanding to help others. My experience in this area shows how unresolved issues is a factor in mental illness and emotional stability. In moving forward, I believe grief recovery is the first step in confronting our fears in dealing with PTSD and losses. i.e. (death, divorce, careers, illness & health and aging).

I'm truly amazed at how the pain that was associated with my father was completely removed though this method - what a blessing and gift. Thank you.

Working as an Hospice Chaplain and Bereavement Coordinator for over 12 years, I've facilitated hundreds of one on ones, support groups and workshops about processing grief. My tool box is huge, but I still felt that something was missing. After attending the Grief Recovery Specialist Training it is now complete. Thank you Laura for bring this work to life for me. I look forward to starting my program.
