It worked better than I thought it would. My facilitator was excellent and helped me understand the program a little better.

The program helped me with my loss in a different way I always had before. When my husband died suddenly, I was at a loss on how to go forward. I had been with him for 36 years and trying to find my new life has been very challenging. Kari helped me work through some things that were not allowing me to live. I knew I couldn't spend the rest of my life despondent over his loss. He wouldn't want me to live like that either. I'll never not stop loving him and missing him, but the resulting anxiety and depression has lifted and I'm seeing my life I bit clearer.

It helped bring closure to problems I had with my parents that stayed with me through out my life which had me allowing people into my life who used me and I allowed them to because I thought myself unworthy. It helped me find closure from my husband dying and being in an emotionally abusive relationship with him. I can now forgive and know I am worthy. It helped me to learn to stand up for myself. It is helping me now in moving from my home which I have for 50 years and going through the emotional aspects of leaving. I am going to bring my children and grandchildren into each room to remember our memories and say good bye so we can all move on to a new chapter.

I did not realize the weight of grief/loss that I was carrying around. This program has had a profound impact on my life, I feel lighter, as if I can fly. It has provided me with a life-long tool to continue working through grief/loss of the past, present, and/or future. I cannot say enough good things about it, put the work in and you will be greatly rewarded. I am beyond grateful!

It made me realize all the feeling I was feeling were ok, normal in a way. She talked to me, understood, The homework assignments kind of brought out a lot of my feelings which we talked about and tried to figure out how to work through it. That its ok to feel the way I did/do and not worry what others thought. To let all the free advice from friends, co workers anyone that really didn't know how to handle me to realize all the things they were trying to say that they thought would help, but wasn't. That I do need to share my feelings though. That I was relying on several short term relief things such as I started drinking every night almost as I couldn't sleep only to wake up everyday feeling worse for months after he passed away, and even when My Mother passed away, I isolated myself, and still do to a point pretty much actually, my anger was intense towards myself thinking I didnt do enough( which still is to a point, I will always think that I think) and towards God. I don't drink like that anymore though, but my anger is still there and still working on getting out instead of isolation. Then the recovery elements of Apologies, Forgiveness, Acknowledgements, emotional statements all put perspective into a lot of me emotions, feelings etc as well. I don't know what she did but after she left every time we met I felt better. I married the wrong person, but when Ramie and I found each other, I never had anyone that loved me, cared for me, we loved the same of everything, Food, activities, we are people people, excitement, adventure, travel, work, partners, sole mates, trust, real true love that we both said to each other we never ever had in our lives and he was snatched away by cancer in a minute. I'm still lost but she did help me tremendously, I was literally in pieces, shattered, I really didn't want to go on, or how I could. I am still lost without him but I realize, he is in no pain, and with God and I know he is watching over me everyday, and someday I will be with him again, and I have unfinished work to do here on earth and he wants me to be happy. I'm still working on that.... Lee Andra is a prize to Crossroads, thats all I can say.......Thank you .

Maureen skillfully guided me through the steps outlined in the Grief Recovery Method to help me work through the loss of my divorce. I have been able to move forward (not just past) the pain and grief, which has freed me to develop a deeper relationship with my current partner and children.
One-on-One Support03/29/2022
I was able to let go of the crutch that the pain was for me. I was allowing it to cripple my decision making and behavior. I believe I will be able to be a better employee, mother, and future wife. I am grateful for this opportunity.

Peggy Norton is AWESOME. She explained everything to me, took time to answer questions and helped me work through what I needed to. Though I am not done, she gave me the tools to start the process. The process made me look at things as far back as I have memory of. To see that some things that have been in my past that I thought were long forgotten really aren't and affect your every day life. It gives tools to help you release those weights and start with a fresh clear mind. Truly a great program. Many people do not understand that Grief is just not death. I didn't until I went to the program. Unfortunately it is a misconception that needs to be broken. As there are multiple stages and kinds of grief. I never say I am doing fine anymore... that is a cliché... I say I am doing OK...Working on it but I am ok and will be OK. I can't speak highly enough of Peggy and her caring, calming personality. She made me feel like she genuinely cared for me and my issues. That she was there for me and I was her only participant. She never pushed me to get into a group and understood my comfort level was one on one which I really appreciated. You have a real GEM representing your program.

Honestly, i feel much better than ik did when i first started the program. It made me realize some of the things that we were taught about grief/ loss and how to handle it was wrong . I feel a lot less negative about feeling what i feel . I have come to realize for the most part that what feel is normal and that its actually best to feel them rather than conceal them for others .

I gained a keen sense of understanding about grief. I had no idea there were so many ways one can grieve. I was dealing with three types of grief. Ms. Saggar was patient, understanding and explained the situations i was facing as normalcy and guided me through the counseling extremely professionally. I feel a sense of empowerment over my life because of this counseling and i am very grateful i now understand exactly what it was i was internalizing. I am very grateful. Thank you Ms. Saggar and all the best with your journey of helping others navigate their grief. You are fantastic!

Mike Strick exhibited a mastery of this material that helped me in a number of ways to gain understanding of how my own grief had been affecting me. He was completely respectful and attentive. He created an atmosphere of trust and honesty that I've never experienced with a private therapist. One of the most important things he did was create a container where I could speak my absolute truth without being judged. I've never felt so "heard" and supported. The healing I've gained is proportional to the quality Mike's leadership, the thoroughness of the homework, and my willingness to be honest with myself and really dig in. Having worked on multiple losses using the Grief Recovery Method, I am a firm believer in this methodology. The healing I've gained has made me a lighter, clearer version of myself and I highly recommend it.

This program has taken the painful weight of my loss off my shoulders! I have learned how to better express my feelings and face my grief head on in healthy ways. This space with my facilitator made me feel so safe to finally be able to process and talk about my losses. I will continue to use the tools I learned from the program for the rest of my life and I am grateful for my experience!

Understanding that ending the pain of the loss is the goal........not just sweeping the loss under the rug. Exploring both good and bad aspects of the relationship prevented me from bedevilment or enshrinement, this was critical for me.
One-on-One Support03/17/2022
It has provided a different way for me to think about grieving. I came away feeling that I had learned so much. I was able to deal with my grief in a way that feels clear and complete for the moment, but that I have the tools for handling more that I'm sure will arise.
