Testimonials For One-on-One Support
Outstanding! So far, after completing 1 relationship, the program has worked to allow me to feel relieved and less anxious. I have a more positive outlook, have been less frustrated, and felt less anger. I am much more appreciative and understanding of others around me-Thank You!

It took me several years before I could find a person that I felt comfortable with. I immediately knew when I learned my counselor worked in this area and I still waited... but the outcome was phenomenal.

I prayed for God to please put a safe, professional person in my life who would give me new tools to heal and grow. God placed Caroline in my life at just the right time, and she walked me through the grief recovery method with courage and unconditional love. I’m infinitely grateful. I now have a new level of freedom and joy in my heart that I did not have before taking these steps to recover the woman God made me to be. Thank you for sharing these life-saving tools with the world!

The facilitator was knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and very nurturing. I enjoyed the structure and pace of the program. The homework assignments were interesting and challenging and she supported and helped ease the discomfort in approaching the writing. The willingness to be vulnerable is very important in getting the most out of this program. Liz's guidance, patience and compassion made this all possible. The program is extremely beneficial and the strong compassionate guide is that supports and encourages you to keep moving forward is so important. I've done a lot of work on myself to process my feelings and this program definitely stirred things in me that had not been stirred before. In that process is true growth, loving acceptance and compassion for myself.

The program helped me to get to the bottom of a very sticky/ difficult relationship with my mother who now has dementia and whom I am looking after. It has allowed me to find clarity, and the freedom to move forward without anger or resentment . I am no longer holding my Mum ransom for the past and can just love her as she is, because everyone deserves to be loved. Kathryn did a wonderful job helping me get to where I needed to be; free.

I found the focus created by the program and the guidance provided by the facilitator to be instrumental in lifting a weight from my being that was holding me back emotionally in so many ways. Having this burden lifted from me, and learning the skills to recognize and process my grief, has been a real gift to me. Thank you for creating this program!

As I have recently learned, grief recovery isn't just about death of a loved one. It's about any kind of loss. Once I began to understand that grief is cumulative, and society doesn't know how to properly deal with loss, things began coming together. Grief is not a "fun" emotion, but it is valid, and worth exploring. Up until starting the program with Terri, I realized I was running from the pain, and in the long run, that wouldn't help me, but hurt me further. I'm very grateful for Terri Swan, and the Grief Recovery Institute.

The program helped me move beyond the deep grief I was experiencing after suddenly losing my 41 year old son. I didn't think I could feel peace about his death but I do after completing the program.

My life has completely changed since my first time through the program. I will be using the tools to remove many more layers of dead feeling and am finally willing to see my life from a place where I truly want to be better. I was initially doubting the programs effectiveness to help in my particular loss. I didn't even give thought to it. But the more I shared with my Facilitator, the more clear it became where I needed to focus my healing. I am so thankful that I trusted her to attack the "elephant in the room" and I am even more grateful for the tools I was able to quickly and easily pick up and implement. I don't even have the words for how well thought out and executed this program is. Even the steps were perfect. The only challenge I found was needing to be brave to do the homework. As difficult as it was to complete assignments, almost immediately after they were each done, I could see that they were very helpful. I can't stop raving about how brilliant this program is. Thank you for getting your "breakthrough" revelations so articulately on paper and sharing them with the world. I will never forget nor forsake what I've learned. Most grateful, Rebecca

Opened my eyes to grief that I held on to for years without acknowledging the source of the loss

I am a lot more open and willing to sharing the things that cause me pain
One-on-One Support03/20/2020Participant in akron, ohio
The scaffolding, awareness, depth, progression, testimonies and examples in the book, testimonies and examples from the facilitator, and warm empathy and compassion (and encouragement) from the facilitator were the strongest contributors. Ultimately achieving "completion" was huge.
One-on-One Support03/19/2020Participant in Pacific Beach/San Diego, CA
This is a program like no other. The content is excellent and my coach/ counselor was very warm, wise, kind, and affirming. She helped me address many issues that have impacted my life deeply. Now, after the program, I feel more courageous and peaceful about moving forward.

Lorri Penner has a gift in helping people shift through grief of any kind. Lorri believed in me and gave me a new lease on life when I was struggling and led me on a healing journey that truly changed my life. She took my calls and texts in stride and always made time for me when I needed it most. She is one of the most heart-centered leaders I know and has a heart of pure gold. I cannot recommend Lorri and this program enough. If you or someone you love is looking to as Lorri said, heal your broken heart, she is who you need on this journey. What I have learned is that grief is not only about loss from a death, grief is normal and okay, we are not flawed because we are grieving, our losses are all unique, and being heard is critical to our journey. Thank you!

I was skeptical at first. The knowledge I gained on how to properly handle grief was so valuable. I won’t lie... the timelines were a lot more emotionally draining than I thought they would be. The closure at the end - made it worth it.
One-on-One Support03/13/2020Participant in Helotes, Texas
I was hesitant to sign up for the program, but a friend suggested I should. After going through a divorce, moving to a new place, finding new friends, and looking for a new job, I was overwhelmed. With Laura's help, I was able to work through the relationship with my ex-wife and now I am working on other relationships. I can finally feel the steam kettle simmering and not exploding.

I thought I was fine when it came to the absence of my dad. I didn't realize how much I needed to say and experience. I feel like I have been able to let go of the many experiences I have held on to my whole life when he was in my life and the experiences he has missed out on when he hasn't been.
One-on-One Support03/08/2020Participant in Friendswood, TX
I was able to let go of stuck, stagnated emotions, which not only improved my mental health but my physical health as well. I feel I have more spaciousness in my current relationships, and I have the tools to work through past incomplete relationships.
