Paula was very empathetic and patient with me. She prayed with me also. I will forever grieve my sons passing and abandonment from my husband but have learned to cope better

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.

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.

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.

The combination of reading and doing 'the homework' and discussing and sharing charts, thoughts, etc. and hearing from others was very meaningful. I don't think it would have been as effective had it been one without the other. Celynn was an excellent guide/leader. -Laura

My brother died on March 26, 2020 of a very aggressive form of Adrenal Cancer. Seeking closure due to COVID I found The Grief Recovery Institute. Today I am in a much better place in regards to my brother and our relationship.

My Daughter passed away April 8th 2020 unexpectedly. The loss of my daughter was the most traumatic experiences of my life. I had no hope of ever fully recovering from this. I heard about Dr Helena through some friends who have gone through this program and i reached out to her within weeks of the loss as I knew I needed professional help if I was going to survive. I did not know about the Grief Recovery Program only Dr Helena and I wasn't sure how this would help. I knew, however, from the first meeting with Dr Helena that there was hope to get through the grief. Through the insight of Dr Helena and this program I was able to complete all the unfinished communication I needed to have with my Daughter. Through a lot of prayer and this program God has filled the empty dark space in my heart and I am able to move forward in my life with the good memories and not all the what ifs, and I wish I would have said this or that. I had a lot of guilt at the start of this program but no more. I have and will continue to recommend Dr Helena and this program to my patients. Heartfelt thanks and gratitude, Chris

My husband passed away on August 12, 2019. In January of 2020 I realized that I need help with my grieving. I asked friends, searched churches, and even the internet. At first, I couldn't find anywhere that specifically dealt with grief counseling in my area. I started to give up. But I searched the internet again and I found Sandy. We first met in person (pre-covid) and immediately I felt comfortable in her presence. She was very transparent and very sincere. I was really interesting in the method of counseling that was offered-therapy and reading the book with homework included. I just finished my sessions this past Tuesday and I must say that because of Sandy, I am now much better. I realized that sitting in my grief and going through the grieving process was what I needed to help me. ‘She guided me through the process and I came out on the other side. I am so excited to begin my “new normal” and I want to help other with their grief by joining The Grief Recovery Team. Tisa

The grief recovery program gave me the tools I needed to learn how to cope with my grief. I honestly didn't realize that a person actually had to use different “tools” to cope with grief.

the program has worked for me in learning bout the different ways of grief in handling it, and the different ways different ppl have been handling their grief and how they are getting through by the use of this program--its been a different outlook on different avenues that make you see what you may not have seen before of the grief or other grief you have had in you.
