Testimonials For One-on-One Support
This course has provided extraordinary insights of the losses in my life. The exercises pointed to certain times when my lack of coping skills were similar and I could see why. Ronda provided direction and guidance in my discovery of the incident and the incomplete undelivered communication with my father who died 30 years ago. Previous to having this course, I had no idea that this was present. My experience of life is now lighter. Others have noticed a change in how I am being with them. This is amazing.

I loved the one-one experience! I liked knowing that I was learning what thousands of people have already learned and the healing steps were great. My facilitator was professional and approachable with my questions and concerns. I'm so glad I took the time to heal and learn.

I was able to complete a loss I had been grieving for awhile. My mother died but was dead to me long beforehand. It helped me solidify my thoughts on grief and recover some hope for feeling better about it in the future.

Grief recovery has helped in so many different ways. It made me realize how important it is to process a traumatic event when it happens, and how you are supposed to deal with it. I always thought something was wrong with me when I could not cry, but learned it's actually a normal for some. I've learned some things we say can be taken differently by others. Grief recovery has helped me deal with feelings toward my family and relationships I thought could not be restored. I can honestly say it's been the hardest thing I've ever done, but it has also been the most rewarding thing I've ever done! I'm so thankful that grief recovery became available for me!

I felt so alone in my grief, like I had to do this without help. Thought like "people don't want to see my pain" and "shouldn't I be over this by now" stopped me from moving forward in my grief process. I am grateful to learn how to deal with loss of any kind and that there is a way to move forward.

The Grief Recovery Method has been the most valuable program that I have completed to overcome losses that I have experienced in my life. Before starting the program, I was feeling sad, frustrated and unable to move on from the past. I had become isolated and hopeless. I did not know how to complete the many losses that I had experienced. In fact, I did not even acknowledge that there were many more losses that impacted me in my life. It was not until I completed my Loss History Graph that I understood the scope of unresloved grief that I had been burying all these years. My old way of being was to deny how these experiences made me feel and 'sweep them under the rug'. I only knew that I was supposed to be strong and move on after only a short period of emotion, to be expressed alone. I thought that was the 'right' thing to do. This program completely changed my life. The losses that I completed during the process no longer cause me pain or sadness when I reflect on them. It is like a burden has been lifted. I feel a sense of freedom and peace. I can see those losses as something I experienced and not who I am. I view them now with an appreciation for the contribution to my own growth and the gratitude for the wonderful moments that were a part of them. My deepest gratitude to my coach and program facilitator, Kirsten Frey. I could not imagine going through this process with anyone else. She made me feel so comfortable to share authentically and always created a space of love, listening and compassion. The tools she taught me to help me deal with grief and loss is the most valuable gift I have ever been given. Thank you Kirsten, for your coaching and continued support and most of all your commitment to my healing. You truly are a 'heart with ears'.

This program has changed my life. I have a deeper understanding of myself and the choices I've made in my life. I can also see forces at play in the lives of those around me which helps me to understand their behavior better. I would recommend this program to anyone who feels "stuck" and who is willing to look deeper inside themselves at their feelings.

This program really helped me see relationships with new eyes. I gained skills I can use going forward as well as really feel things that I thought were not important. It was so validating and helped unlock memories that needed to processes. I cannot say thank you enough!! It is a total life changer for me and recommend this to everyone.

It is revolutionary to learn how to grieve. We were never taught it growing up. Consequentally, we end up carrying so much into our adult lives that affects every moment. I was so surprised at the ways i was carrying childhood grief in every aspect of my adult life. It was a weight hanging on every moment. This work has made it so that the past is truly in the past. I recommend it to everyone!

The program helped me to see the pain of grief and the loss as separate. I can acknowledge the loss with less attachment to the pain.

I have learned that loss equates to more than death. I have learned to deal with my interpersonal relationships and the issues with loss of trust, loss of communication, etc. This program has helped me resolve my feelings on many relationships.

The Grief Recovery Method gave me a clear, laid out foundation to forgiveness and acceptance of the things I cannot change. I've learned that taking at least 1% responsibility to situations in my life, allows me to have grace for others as well as myself. In that, it has also helped me realize that my reactions matter and that it's better to allow yourself to feel. Burying my emotions have only caused more pain as it simmers within and wasn't being dealt with. This method has really showed me a lot about my past that I didn't realize affected me. I'm really thankful to have been introduced to it in such a time of need. It has really changed my perspective on a lot and showed me that I am worthy of living a free life!

I feel I am better prepared to respond to people who are grieving the loss of someone in their life who has died, or are experiencing other kinds of losses, especially loss of trust and safety. I want to alleviate the isolation that is perpetuated by "the society" you refer to that keeps a stiff upper lip.

I never planned to go to Grief Counseling, I wasn’t grieving the loss of any loved ones! I didn’t have any grief that was dealing with. I was basically forced to go to counseling to keep my job and was given the name of Heather Leigh, so I scheduled an appointment and showed up. When the program was being presented, I remember thinking “I don’t need grief counseling”, then my next thought was “well I’m here, I might as well see what this is all about” As I listened to what the program about, I started to think that “there may be something to this program”. I took the book and the homework assignment and scheduled my next appointment! As I worked through the program I discovered that there really was something to the Grief Recovery Program. It turns out grief is not just about the loss we experience from the death of a loved one. We can experience grief from any number of losses. It is not unusual for us to stuff the pain from repeated losses, which can result in any number of bad behaviors. It turned out that my negativity and anger, along with the tendency to isolate from others were all Short Term Energy Relieving Behaviors, as ways to numb the pain from unresolved losses! I had been working on my own with multiple self-help books to curb my bad behaviors which would improve for a time and then I would regress again! With the Grief Recovery Program, I have finally uncovered the losses that were triggering the pain and the behaviors I was using to numb the pain! This program has given me the tools to help me finally, “complete” these losses and move on with my life in a positive way! The tools I learned from this program are tools I can utilize for the rest of my life to complete losses immediately and not stuff the pain and revert back to bad behaviors! Thanks to the Grief Recovery Program and Heather Leigh, I am getting my life back!
