Testimonials For Support Groups
I learned that I am a griever! One of the biggest things that helped me was learning that the majority of people DO NOT know how to treat someone who is grieving. I was so angry at everyone for how they were treating me that it made things worse and I was shutting down. This course helped me to forgive them and work towards forgiving myself. I have been giving myself permission to be human which was hard! Thank you for this program I think everyone should take this class so we can respect people’s emotions and feelings on a more sincere level!

The program truly opened my eyes to facing my grief head-on, speaking to it, accepting it, and moving on. I'm a much better person for participating and I feel I have increased my ability to handle grief (past and future) with the tools needed to be successful. The reading and homework was very accommodating for someone like me, who works a full-time job and other activities. I'm constantly unconsciously helping others who are grieving. Including myself!

I got so much out of this group. I took it seriously, I worked hard on my grief. I had total faith that this program would work for me at orientation. I was excited and nervous to step into my grief and resolve my issues. I’ve completed my relationship with my Mom. I’m free. I’m clear headed. I can smile more, laugh more, feels safer too. I cannot stress enough how awesome Esther, Jeff and Anne are!!

The program helped me organize my feelings and address them directly. Grief needs a plan of action and this definitely helped me to do that.

I feel this was a very worthwhile program. It helped me identify parts of my relationship the were causing me pain. It also helped me to put my feelings into words. I believe more progress in my grief recovery is ahead as I continue to process what I've learned through the guidance of Janet Perrini and the program.

Timing was great. Stayed and ended on time, many times I was late due to network issues. Facilitator-Tammy was very empathetic, vulnerable about her life, easily connected. Tammy knew each of our stories and was very understanding. Very flexible to help all of us. Smaller group settings made it helpful with the time and to feel safe and be vulnerable. Material was excellent learnt a lot. Very grateful! Thanks again!

I thought I had dealt with grief regarding the loss of my mother (which was not the reason I came to the program). The Grief Recovery Book helped me discover areas of unresolved grief that I didn't even know existed. The homework assignments were very helpful for me. I discovered so much by completing the Loss History Graph and the Relationship Graph. Writing the completion letter was very difficult and amazing at the same time. I felt a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders after I completed it. Thank you so much for your years of working with people and the research that has been done to help ppeople recover from loss and get their lives back.

Я поняла, что есть вещи, которые застряли где-то глубоко в детстве, например, в отношениях с самыми близкими. И решить их невозможно и поговорить тоже, но каким-то грузом они лежат внутри. Благодаря программе, я поняла, что есть возможность проговорить такие вещи - не обязательно и не нужно человеку в отношениях с кем они произошли - а для себя решить и распрощаться с болью и горечью. Ещё важно было понять, что на фоне травм и острых переживаний формируются привычные "источники кратковременного облегчения", которые тянутся потом всю жизнь и мешают даже понять причину, потому что чаще люди борються с внешними проблемами. Я нашла ещё потери в своей жизни и планирую проработать их тоже.
