Testimonials for our Certification Training Program
The instructor, Jocelyn Williams, was very knowledgeable on the subject and displayed that to all. Ms. Williams was more than willing to share her experiences with the group and entertain any questions that we had. I would recommend this training to anyone who is interested in learning more about grief recovery and the method used by the Institute. Great job Jocelyn and Lois.

I was able to voice with my own repressed feelings around my grief.

Sometimes we have so many losses in our lives that we can't properly deal with each loss at the time they occur. The GRM helps to determine which emotions need to be addressed. You can get to the root of whatever it is that is truly keeping you from finding joy and happiness again after a loss.

This course I would highly recommend to everyone who has had losses or just wants to help other. I have searched for counseling but still remained very broken since the loss of my three sons in the last three years. I came away from this course different in the way that I felt about each loss but also much more stringer and healed in my heart to the point of realizing how I can now help others. Ian forever grateful for the gift this course was to me and know that I can say I am equipped with the tools I need to help others.

If you're on the fence about whether to invest in the Grief Recovery Method Specialist Certification Training, do yourself a favor and ENROLL!! You'll be so glad you did! I had previously participated in a 12 week Grief Recovery Method class in my hometown. It was amazing. However, the training I received as a specialist completely equipped me with the proper tools necessary to help others heal and to identify deep rooted grief that hasn't even been identified yet. The instructors are engaging, professional and bring tons of valuable information to a personal level. We walked away from the four-day-training with confidence and completely inspired! Thank you for making this educational and emotional experience available to anyone who has a heart for assisting others in finding hope after loss of any kind!

When I took the Grief Recovery Method Training I had no idea it would take me back to evaluate my relationship with my brother. I discovered the unresolved grief I had with him began when I was 13 years old. At 56, my grief was manifesting in the form of resentments and anger. At the end of writing him a letter with apologies, forgives and significant statements, I called him and apologized and we both had a good cry on the phone. I am now in the process of rebuilding my relationship with my brother because of taking this training.

Jocelyn embodied the essence of the Grief Recovery Method and was able to present the class information in a fluid understandable way. The training course was a life changing experience and converted me into a believer in the Method. The work is worth the journey!

8 members of my immediate family have died, 4 by disease and 4 by murder. I had the advantage of a family that was not afraid to discuss the pain of grief. The Grief Recovery Method validated some of the practices we learned and corrected others. One professional directed me to the "stages of Grief" but i could not see them happening in me. The Grief Recovery Method has solidified the lessons learned through experience. I feel validated, supported. I still have work to do myself yet I am now prepared to do it. I feel ready to help others complete their pain and cherish their good memories!

This training was phenomenal!! I learned so much in this training that helped me personally, but also learned from this so I can help others work through their grief experiences! Very good information throughout the training and it helped me learn the common misconceptions we have about grief. Amazing training and definitely worth the money to attend!

Being a funeral director coming onto this, I learned I had no idea what grief was in fact was and how I could use Grief Recovery Method to connect to my families more and become a better funeral director. All at the same time as using this method to make me feel better in life.

This is the real deal! I feel much more confident in working with grievers since this training, and I’m a bereavement team member with my agency! This should be required training for anyone working directly with those grieving. Can’t sing any more praises, it’s just amazing!

Wish I had done this sooner! I thought I was going to attend just another CEU course; however, I experienced the life-changing Grief Recovery Method and came away with healing in two significant losses of my own. Four days with never a moment wasted or even losing attention! By far this training is well worth the investment and I look forward to utilizing it in my work as a hospice chaplain to walk our patients and families through the healing process!

I walked away from this training not only with an inspired direction for how I’d like to develop my practice and help people... but with an unexpected completion of my own personal loss. My expectations were exceeded in every way possible. Thank you!

My training experience was phenomenal...life changing. I met the most beautiful, wonderful, and courageous human beings and was taught how to heal and move forward from my past hurts. My heart feels more free and I am looking forward to living my life happier and teaching others how to do the same.

The Grief Recovery Method training is in-depth, well organized and very clearly presented. I walked away having made some dear friends, and feeling well equipped to bring this valuable work to my clients. Included in the training, was in-depth work on our own grief which led to new insights and deep healing.

My experience at the certification training is one I will not soon forget, if ever! I learned how to complete incomplete relationships, and move forward without regret or feeling the pain from being unresolved. It's truly a feeling of freedom and peace! Thank you!

This was one of the most empowering pieces of training I have ever taken. Lois, the facilitator created a safe and loving space for our many heavy and heartfelt moments. I came away feeling ready and excited to go out into the world to help others move through their grief. I hope for the future that our world will be filled with more grief recovery specialists helping to mend many broken hearts.

The GRM specialist training was a significant experience for my own self care and healing. I appreciated the thorough and caring atmosphere our instructor created. Because of the training, I feel confident that I will be able to lead a group or individual through the method/steps towards feeling better in their grief.

Having participated in grief support groups myself this past year, this training was so helpful and eye opening! I have a completely new perspective on grief and loss.

Coming into the training, I had no idea what it was. All I wanted to do was help people. I had been told in the past that I was a great listener and that people felt safe sharing their feelings with me. I signed up knowing that I would come out knowing skills that could help others. I was only half right! I came out of this weekend a changed woman! I’m looking at relationships in a different way! I’m looking at people in a different way! I understand that people are hurting and the things they do stem from that. It helps me have much more compassion on everyone I see or interact with. I’m grateful that I have the ability and tools to help other people find this life changing method, and I’m so excited to see what happens next! On a side note, though still extremely important, my training group was privileged to meet John and spend time with him. It was an honor to be able to listen to him, ask him questions, to have a picture with him, and to be able to give him a hug. It was an experience I will never forget! What an incredible heart John has. Thank you all for everything!
