Testimonials For One-on-One Support
I found it very helpful to have the built in accountability to follow through on each week's homework. As the emotional content increased in the homework, it was very good to have a deadline to be working towards for completing homework exercises which were emotionally charged and difficult to process mentally. I also appreciated the non judgemental, listening only, nature of providing my completed homework to the counsellor. I tended to stray from the main focus at times and there was no judgement or time constraint on me when this happened. The step by step method was good, although, I misunderstood the intent of completing the week one homework before my first session so in essence I completed 2 sessions in one session because of this. I did not find this challenging as I had read ahead in the book anyway.

Going through the program helped me to see my situation in a new light and to learn to express those unsaid thoughts and words. It gave me the tools to continue going forward. I know it will help me in future dealing with grief.

I was swirling around (in my head) and bouncing between feeling horrible for not crying and breaking down (isn't that what a loved one should do when they lose a loved one) and anger and resentment at the situation I found myself in. The Grief Recovery Method taught me how to look at my grief (my uncompleted relationship) in a way that settled my anger, resentment and frustration while helping me to 1) take some responsibly for the difficult situation I was in and 2) connect with the good emotions - love, fun, understanding (are those emotions?) that were a part of and will remain in my memory of my relationship with my loved one whom I lost.

I tried to select outstanding but it kept defaulting to select all! The program was what I needed. I feel lighter and more joyful knowing I have the tools to let go of loss and the pain attached to it. Thank you for creating this program. It’s hard - really hard - at times, but it’s so worth completing.

Having a structure to work through things that have happened in my life was very helpful. Using tools and formula to move through my grief was helpful.

it's simple but true, after "completing" the sessions, i was able to let go of the cycle of "...i miss him - i wish i would have said this to him or apologized for what i said/did..." without having to release the memories, both good and the other kind.

GRM is a unique program that gets to the root of grief and teaches strategies to help with any loss moving forward. I enjoyed the sessions and would recommend to anyone. Grief can be experienced by more than just someone mourning a death and GRM teaches great skills. Having a facilitator to share their journey is so helpful.

I was very happy with Liliana, my program facilitator and with how the program worked for me. Liliana took me through the program process at a pace that I was comfortable with and answered all my questions thoroughly and satisfactorily. Liliana made our sessions comfortable and I felt secure working with Liliana through my loss process. Liliana was respectful of my feelings and emotions and I felt secure working with Liliana. I would highly recommend Liliana as a program facilitator. Thank you Liliana.

I’m so grateful, this has been a long time coming for me, it’s been an important journey for me personally and something I’ve wanted to be able to share with others. I began to search for grief recovery type materials 30 years ago while working in the native villages of Alaska and had a really hard time finding very helpful resources - I began reading through the book last year, and was able to sign up for training this year - this has been a huge answer to a great need, my prayers are answered! I’m so grateful to have been able to begin training! Thank you, Wildflower T. Reynolds

The program was very helpful not only in helping me realize the source for a lot of my grief, but how to ultimately recover from it. As someone who can often be described as a skeptic and someone set in their own ways, at the outset I was skeptical the program would work for me. However, as the program went on, the materials and the instructor helped me work through this, explain to me what forgiveness is and is not, and ultimately start the process of recovery. By the end of the program I genuinely felt that I had healed from the relationship grief I was experiencing - It didn't weigh on me anymore, and recounting events did not result in the intense anger and rage it once did. More importantly, I now have the tools to apply the method to other areas of my life.

This book/process has been a tremendous support in helping me understand grief and process the loss of my mom. It is an outstanding program and my facilitator, Ashley Wolfe, was exceptional. She has a very special gift as a grief recovery facilitator and I am so greateful for the opportunity to work with her as I continue through this journey. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this program and Ashley, it's been life changing.

It helped me be able to communicate verbally the grief and abuse that I went through. I have never been able to say those words outload, which was a very helpful experience for me. Being able to say it has really helped my healing journey. I now know that I can do hard things that feel scary.
One-on-One Support01/09/2023Participant in Findlay, Ohio
It helped me understand that conflicted feelings are normal and that I’m not a bad person for having negative feelings toward someone I love when they hurt me. I also never recognized some of my habits are STERBS so the program has increased my awareness in this area.

I feel stronger, more confident in all aspects of significant losses experienced in my life. I have gained tools and knowledge that will help me be a better person for my loved ones, and any other future losses to face.
One-on-One Support01/05/2023Participant in Houston, TX
The program has taken me, steadily, through a year of multiple losses, from shock and feeling lost, to regaining my inner connection, to developing new understanding of myself, and the people who died, leading to acceptance of what we each brought to our relationships, and finally, a sense of peace.

It was able to show me steps to take to finish what was felt to be unfinished after my loss. Allowing a new freedom to move forward less burdened by the loss and past.
One-on-One Support12/29/2022Participant in BAttle Ground, WA
The program helped me dig deep into feelings I still held on to about a great loss 20 years ago. I had no idea I was feeling so much guilt for all of these years. I felt like a weight was lifted. I learned some techniques to deal with other losses on my own now. Lisa is an outstanding facilitator. She is knowledgeable and so caring.

I embarked on the GRM with an open mind. I felt apprehensive but hopeful that it would help with the grief I had been experiencing. And it has. I feel I have gained a real and effective “coping kitbag” to be able to work through the grievances life brings: big and small. Chris is wonderful. She has such a way that makes you feel you can be completely open and honest, without analysis, without judgement and ultimately helps get the most out of the programme. I highly recommend.

This program was an excellent tool in causing me to reflect on the various losses throughout my life, and bring some completion to them. I had a couple that I didn’t even realize I needed to deal with, until taking the class
