As no different from anyone else, I have suffered a few losses throughout my life. Not necessarily deaths of loved one, but some life altering and rather significant losses, many at a younger and vulnerable age. For most of my adult life, I have tried to overcome feelings of unhappiness, sorrow, hopelessness, etc. I have tried traditional therapy, medication, etc. All I achieved was a greater ability to express my sorrow, but no tools on how to properly deal with it let alone get thru it. And then I met Gwen. OH MY GOD. Talk about life altering. I did the 12 week program. I have begun to feel peaceful, less anxious, hopeful. I have stopped medications I was taking, I have taken notice of the things I have been doing that were unhealthy for me and have made significant changes to alter or stop them altogether. I continue to work with Gwen as I still need her guidance at times as I do not want to sway off this new found path. For the first time in a very long time I am excited about the journey ahead. This sense of calm, of hope, of humility have finally cracked thru and I refuse to let them disappear. In such a short time this simple program has CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. People around me notice this subtle change in me. I hear the comments they make, and they are good. This program isn't only used to recover from a death. This program is so valuable in showing people how to recover from loss. Loss happens to us constantly and we have never, ever, been shown the healthy way to process loss. This program and specifically Gwen has done and will continue to do that for me. If I could shout about this from rooftops I would, that's how much this has impacted me. My wish would be that everyone take part of this program. The world would be such a nicer, better, happier place to be in. From the bottom of my heart and the top of my soul, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Not sure if this survey has a malfunction, but experience with Kory Kane and this Grief Recovery program was OUTSTANDING! I not only was able to address past issues, but I've also learned new and better ways to address and overcome adversity going forward on my life journey. The lessons I've learned will continually aid me when dealing with emotional discomfort as well as open my mind to new ways of thought / points of view when approaching my life overall.

When I first began the Grief Recovery Program, I did not know what loss was affecting me, but just knew that I was hurting. Through the steps of the program I discovered my loss. I did two completion charts, and I have to tell you that not only did the process help me with closure for 2 relationships, but it also had a rippling effect helping me in other areas and relationships. It helped me to discover my loss and heal from it and know the signs for the future. Thank you for helping me and for being a heart with ears.

I had no idea that grief could be so strong and unresolved in relationships that don't end in death. It's been life changing to know the myths, have the tools and now be able to help my granddaughter with her grief.

I have been isolated from social dancing and visiting friends , going on social outings like dinner & dance and stay-overs due to covid-19 . The Grief Recovery Method gives me tools to cope with loss due to this involuntary covid-19 isolation.

It was a worthwhile experience. I also appreciated the size of the group, so we were able to meet in person, socially distanced, and masked.

I finally had the chance to sit down and truly understand how some things that we were taught as children is not the best way to handle our emotions or tell our love ones to deal with theirs.

I thought the Grief Recovery Program was excellent. At first I was a little apprehensive, because I did not want to re-hash any emotions that I had buried, but the Grief Recovery Program made me realize that these were emotions that I needed to address. The Loss History Graph was painful to discuss, but in the end, I was glad that I could discuss my loss with others, and not be judged. I thank my group members for that. Having to do the Relationship Graph, helped me to finally address what I wanted to say to my dad for years, and by the time I did my Completion Letter, I was ready to say goodbye without any leftover feelings or emotions.This group was a carthatic experience, and I would definitely recommend this program to others. Joy Reid was an awesome Facilitator, and she made this experience very comfortable, and enlightening.

It has help me to recognize areas where I had STERBS and how those may have been barriers in recovering and how they may have become an addiction.

It has helped me look at all situations and relationships with more objective and less judgement on myself and others. We all experience things through our own lens and we hid ourselves to imaginary bars of recovery without necessarily dealing with the underlying issues. This GRM allows us to heal

I am currently 21 years old and I was wanting to take the next steps with losing both of my parents. My instructor Lisa helped me open my eyes and understand grieving and how to get through the loss. This program helped me so much and I am so happy that I took the next steps to better myself.
