Testimonials For One-on-One Support
There was a lot of things that I already practiced without realizing it but I would say that there was tons of great questions to get me to my “why”/ also there were lots of good tools to help me narrow down my responses to Grief and loss which very much will help slowing down my unhealthy muscle memory habits

This program was everything I didn't know I needed. Brittany walked me through parts of my life I had no idea effected me so deeply. It blew me away how accurate and effective this program is. Brittany created a very safe space that I felt so supported and safe while speaking with her. I learned tools during this program and from Brittany that I will take with me for future losses. I would highly recommend Brittany and this program for anyone feeling lost, trying to navigate life after loss or just ready to heal some deep rooted stuff.

Tonya was amazing ! I never expected a 7 week program could make such a difference in my life. I went in thinking I needed to only heal from the loss of my father but I was given the tools to help me dig deeper and realize the issues I was facing were much deeper. I walked away feeling lighter mentally, emotionally and spiritually. And it’s all thanks to Tonya Edwards. It takes a special person to help others heal. Each session I felt comfortable enough to be vulnerable, and for me that says a lot. Through my vulnerability I was able to find my confidence again. Not only that, but the tools I was given allowed to me to focus and build up and repair the relationships I have my friends and family. I’m really excited about moving forward in my life.

The guidance of the facilitator, the reading of the handbook and the completion of the homework helped me to focus on and better understand grief that I have been dealing with for most of my life. The program also helped me to gain clarity on certain events in my life and to reexamine what those events mean to me. I truly wish that this program had been introduced to me sooner. I highly recommend my facilitator, Gabby Gouveia. She seemed to have a very good grasp of the Grief Recovery Method and made the program feel smooth and natural. I can't thank her enough.

It has changed the way I hold my grief and allowed me to be at peace with the loss and created an understanding of not holding on to the pain. It taught me the sterbs I was using as a crutch and not actually helping me move past the pain. I also have appreciated my ps journal as I’ve been given an outlet to continue my grief work.

Before my father passed I did not know that GRI existed. It was recommended by my therapist and I was connected with a facilitator. I was losing hope. Most days I couldn’t get out of bed and my relationships were suffering. Two previous incomplete grief experiences were compounded by the loss of my last parent. I was lost. When I first connected with my facilitator I was met with kindness, compassion and understanding. In our first session I was desperate but willing to move forward, at the end I had a renewed sense of hope for the future. I am so grateful for this program and the resources provided. I wholeheartedly believe I would not be alive if it were not for the latter. Thank you to the grievers who never gave up, thank you also to those who chose to light the way by facilitating and sharing the program. This is noble work.

It helped me realize we are not taught how to grieve and now that I have the tools I feel I can get through this.

The Grief Recovery Method allowed me to process and identify the emotions built up from my past relationships and manage them in a healthier way. Before I was filled with anger and resentment. It would appear at the worst times, overwhelm me and I would distract myself with work or bad habits. It was all consuming. Now the feelings roll in like clouds and I can identify them, choose to feel or make peace with them, allow them to pass. I am no longer a slave to my emotions, I am able to live my life regardless of those experiences.

I feel like I left the program learning a great deal about grief and loss in the context of our society and my own personal grief and loss. I have a different perspective about the way other people have reacted to my grief, as well as some of the ways I have judged myself and coped in not so healthy ways. I enjoyed reading the chapters along with meeting once a week with Judy to talk about how they relate to my grief in my life. Diving deeper into the losses I have experienced in my life really opened my eyes to how much loss I have experienced. I feel like I learned so much about myself and have a clear understanding of all the struggles I have gone through. In addition to all of these things, I think the biggest take away from this program was reviewing my relationship's with my two parents who passed when I was a teenager and the completion work I did with them. Laying out our relationship graphs painted a really clear picture of where all my pain and sadness was stemming from. Being able to express all of the unresolved feelings, apologies, forgiveness, and emotional statements that never got to be said felt like the closure I never had. I don't think I ever truly worked through my grief after these two losses and I think this is going to impact my life in so many ways. I am extremely grateful for Judy and this program. Going into the therapy field, myself, I am even considering training to become a GRM therapist at some point. Thank you!!!

I began because of my husband's death but soon realized my grief stemmed from the loss of my faith in my father. This made a big difference

It helped me completely process and release the grief and loss I was experiencing and allowed me to fully heal.

This program gave me the tools to understand where these emotions are coming from and the ability to let go and begin to heal.

There is a night and day difference in how I feel from the first session to now, after completing the program. I began with being unable to open up and express my emotions towards my loss. As Cynthia and I worked together through the sessions, I began feeling like a heaviness was lifted from me as I was able to vocalize my pain and let it be heard by someone fully devoted to my healing journey. I was able to replace feelings of guilt and blame of my miscarriage with a sense of closure and completeness. While I naturally feel sadness at times towards my loss, I'm able to identify those feelings and allow them to be recognized rather than dismissing them. I am so thankful for the tools that I have learned throughout this program and recommend it to anyone looking to find a sense of completeness from any unresolved loss they have experienced in their life. Many thanks to Cynthia as my facilitator, and to the founders of the Grief Recovery Method.

The program has helped me feel closure from my miscarriage.

I have always felt that grief was something I had to learn to live with. That cumulative grief would be a lifelong companion that would expand as new losses were suffered. The Grief Recovery Method and my facilitator have allowed me the tools to feel, understand and complete my grief. I will continue to use these tools, and to work through past and future grief. As long as I put in the work, and give myself to the process, grief no longer needs to stay. It is a wonderful gift which has brought new vigour and enthusiasm to my life, and I am profoundly grateful.

The significant emotion I felt and let out while reading my completion letter to Celynn demonstrated to me the power of this grief recovery method in allowing people to let go of the pain, anger, guilt, disappointments, etc. from past losses. I look forward to working on other loss relationships I identified as a result of the program.

Helped me to recognize STERB behaviors, also recognized importance of incomplete communications being "completed" via letters.

I would recommend this program to anyone. It lifted decades of grief off me and I feel so much lighter and like I have my life back. Susan, my facilitator, was especially gifted and I feel lucky to have met her.
