It helped me face my experiences with my loss and to forgive and end on good terms.

I was able to learn some behaviors that I need to adjust to learn how to readapt at life. However I felt many of the examples in the book were basic and juvenile. I also didn't agree with some of the concepts (no stages in grief). However, I've also considered that I'm not ready to process, or complete, and accept the loss of my husband yet.

This program is amazing. I have been able to move through my grief... which I wasn't fully aware of how much it occupied my life until I addressed it. Saying Good-bye is very beneficial for me. This program gives me the tools to keep practicing my recovery for my well-being.

New outlook on life
Support Groups09/01/2020
I want to go on with exploring my history with another person in my life. I also may want to try and help a dear friend who just lost her husband with her grief... I am not suggesting myself buy suggesting to her that she contact the Grief Recovery Institute as she was given a copy of the book by her pastor. I believe it would help her to be involved with a group and not try the method by herself.

When I started attending, I thought this isn't for me. As the weeks went on I realized that I was grieving more than my mom death, I was grieving the girls father. He made my life a living hell, attending the classes helped me realized that I still had hatred towards him. Peggy helped my realized how deep I was holding on to anger towards the girls father. By the end of the class and writing the letter helped me so much, I look at life different now. I can move on with a relationship I have with someone and it couldn't of happened at a better time than now. I will truly send other candidate's to her!!

I realize I was suffering a lot with the relation I was having with my adult son. Since I was there to grive my mom's narcissist attitude with me then I wasn't sure what I should do. Kim suggested that I should follow my feeling and do the work with my son.

The information presented and the questions asked made me think a little deeper into areas I had closed off. I truly re-examined how I've handled my grief.
Support Groups08/26/2020Participant in Wharton , Ohio
It probably helped others more than me. As I said, I had dealt pretty well with my wife's death. The friend-ship was an after-thought. It did get me to thinking about it more. I think I had dealt with it, too. At best, it gave me a chance to get her out of my mind more completely, even though I still care about her well-being.

Greif recovery has provided a framework for which I can return to process any loss. It shed light on the ineffective way I was managing my loss and gave me a chance to step gently through space I feared.
Support Groups08/23/2020Participant in Redmond , WA
Writing out both the grief timeline and the relationship timeline and then Having a partner that listened to me speak about them was very cathartic. I feel like these are great tools to use for other relationships.
