It brought perspective and relief
Support Groups03/03/2020Participant in Scott AFB, Illinois
The program enabled me to say goodbye to my husband the way I really wanted to say goodbye to him. He died in a hospital after a 4-month stay, and by then, his cognition had diminished. I feel at peace now after truly saying goodbye through the final letter. Sharing the letter was the most emotionally wrenching experience I have had; however, it was cleansing and cathartic.

This program was very helpful for me. The information presented helped me process my feelings and come out with a better understanding of my grief. The support from the other members of the group was also very comforting. A safe place to express your thoughts and emotions without having to consider what someone else might think. I would highly recommend attending this class for anyone who is struggling with grief.

My grief is still ongoing but my mind is more peaceful. My joy of life is returning. I feel as though I have grown emotionally as I listened to others who are dealing with the same situation. Shared grief is very beneficial. Thank you for a job well done.

I really liked the instructor, the book was a little rigid for me. I found the charts / timelines the most helpful and insightful.

It was REAL. The facilitator had been through several of my same losses so it really does make a difference because the facilitator REALLY knows how I feel/felt. I think everyone needs to have this type of program in their life. It isn’t just about different loss but true life lessons. It has helped me in my personal relationships and made me see how I need to be more compassionate to everyone because we never know what another individual is going through. Thank you for having this type of program!!

The program has opens in ways to look at grief that I never knew. It taught how to show more compassion to other people grieving. It really taught me more about myself in the process .

I was able to show empathy and support to the participants, and receive it back from them. It was very difficult at times and painful, but helped with my healing progress, which will continue on. The book and homework is something I can refer to at any time I need a refresher course. I do wish the course had a "step down" course for continuing the support I was given. I truly looked forward to every Monday evening, and always felt better after the class then when I started each class. It was a safe place to show my grief and get support, feedback and care. I truly felt loved.

I am super grateful for the information and tools I learned from the GRM that applies not just to myself but to those around me. I am able to have a much better understanding and appreciation for others’ grief now that I have processed one of my own losses. Thank you so much for making me feel more equipped when dealing with grief or loss in both my life and in the lives of others.

It has been many years since my spouse's death and I thought I had worked through all my grief, but the GRM helped me see aspects of my relationship that I did not fully address and I was able to confront some unresolved feelings/emotions that finally put me at ease and made me feel less guilty about my loss.

You were able to share without feeling like you were being judged or criticized. Gave tips on what not to do/say & what to do/say when people share in order that people can feel free to share & to help get 'stuff' out. The fact that everything was confidential. You didn't have to worry that what you shared would be shared with anyone else or that anyone else other than those in the recovery group knew you were going to the group, everything was completely confidential.

It helped to open a new door in my relationship with my mother.
Support Groups02/29/2020Participant in Cincinnati, OH
I definitely feel more at peace and have some “closure” that I had not felt before. The program “forced” me to explore my past and my loss so that I can move forward. I understand myself better than I ever have because of dealing with the past. It is hard work, but I’m so happy I went through it.
