I appreciated having to draw a concrete timeline of my relationship and then articulating each major memory in a form that allows me to move on. I have spent years stuffing down my feelings because I have had to be functional. It was very healing to be able to discuss and then move through my grieving process.

I am 67 years old. My parents disowned me at 33 years old when my mother tried to ruin my life. I found out she was lying and she turned on me. All through the years I thought I was depressed and full of anxiety.Always blaming myself. After I began losing friends and relatives to death it became a health problem. I saw the grief support in the church bulletin. My life has been fairly happy and now I am seeing things about the loss of my parents in a totally different light. Thank you

This program helped me understand key losses and how they influenced my behavior and ability to manage my emotions. The insight I have built into my STERBs has been life changing.

I came in without a specific loss to work on. So, I came out of there with more knowledge about the losses I've experienced throughout life, and how I've learned to cope with loss in a manner that doesn't serve me. I ended up having a good look at myself, and forgave myself for a lot of things I was holding against myself ... which I had no clue I was even doing. Since the GRM I feel lighter, and accomplishing things and living life seems easier, and done with less judgment. I loved the system and the teacher and would recommend it to others.

It helped me come to terms with what loss I was going through in dealing with my husband’s dymentia and how to handle my emotional loss and move forward. I hadn’t realized before this program that loss can be occurring while your loved is still alive.

Help me learn different tools to handle my grieving different things in my life

My doctor referred me to Lorri because of ongoing sadness that wasn't responding to any treatments; including medication and therapy. Initially I felt like this was just one more thing that wasn't going to work. Lorri was so empathetic and caring and guided me on a journey where I felt supported each step as I examined my life and losses.I feel like I now have my life back and am looking forward to doing this work with other losses in my life. Thank you!

Very good program for someone grieving.

It told me that I will always remember Diane but the memories will be of us in happier times and not just her final weeks. It taught me that I am not wrong to cry or remember as society tried to tells. I taught me that live does go on and yes I will still cry when something provokes a memory of our many days/years/decades together for we were together for more than 57 years. Thank your group for helping me understand. Don

The grief recovery method has been an eye-opening experience for me. Over the 7- week course, one of the most powerful messages for me was learning that I was not broken nor damaged and that I am a completely normal human being. One thing that has really stuck in my mind is that I have been given misinformation for most of my life and that misinformation is what I have been using as my coping strategies - up until today of course. Throughout the 7 weeks, I made a true commitment to myself. Some days it was HARD, but I also knew I wasn't a QUITTER, and I am so thankful that I stayed not only true to my commitment, but true to myself. As the sessions went on, I started to feel like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulder. I truly believe that I am constantly feeling lighter because I now have the tools I need to clean out all the pain in my heart. I have the tools to clean out the anger, hate and the hurt. I have the tools to change those negative, harsh feelings into love, joy and happiness. I have come to realize however, that there may be a time in my life that the pain comes back and I am feeling so much more prepared to tackle those feelings.

I have been provided with another outlook on grief that I never knew really existed. In addition, I have a lot more tools to better cope with future losses.

I feel like I am ready to move forward with life in so many new ways that I did not anticipate when I started. I'm always sharing with others how helpful the program has been and recommend it to people for so many losses they are going through that may not necessarily be a death.
One-on-One Support09/10/2019Participant in Billings, Montana
I had no idea how much loss I had endured in my life and how much it was impacting me. Completing the loss timeline was an amazing activity for me and allowed me to identify those losses that were impacting me--even 25 years after the fact. After completing the Grief Recovery Method program I am amazed at the transformation to my energy and mood. I have a better understanding of my emotions and a better way to deal with my emotions around loss.

One-on-One Support09/09/2019Participant in Charlotte, Nc
Helped me comes to terms with grief I did not know existed. I thought I was at peace with my mothers death already but the timeline, activities and, letter demonstrated I had not dealt with it entirely.
One-on-One Support09/08/2019Participant in Stony Plain, Alberta
When I first began the Grief Recovery method I was genuinely looking forward to working through some of the unfinished grief I had towards the loss of my father. The program really allowed me to get in touch with my emotions and express the loss I was feeling. I am feeling so much more balanced with a less heavy heart. I'm glad I took part in this program.
