Amazingly helped me get over some losses that happened in my life.

I had the healing experience of the in-person group and the virtual one-on-one sessions. Caroline was a truly wonderful facilitator of GRM the entire time. Her affect was empathetic and she modeled the listening heart at all times. I lost both of my parents within four months, and experienced numerous other traumatic losses. I was able to understand and work through the the entire process with her conscientious, honest, and caring assistance and encouragement. I feel lighter and stronger now. Going through GRM during this challenging time has been a true gift.

It was really amazing to understand specifically how I deal with grief. I really enjoyed being able to graph the other relationships and have that open and safe space to be vulnerable with others. I especially feel very grateful that I now know when I drift into those "STERBS". This program was the greatest balance in creating an individual experience for each person that goes through this program while also being able to relate to each other in ways that aren't a popular way to be unified.

Coming into this program, I wasn't to sure of what to expect or even what I would get out of it. I was just really taking it because others in my ministry were advocating for it. I went on a limb, and throughout the course I was able to really discover new emotions that I had never really encountered. I'd say that I was able to accomplish some things that I probably wouldn't have been able to do by the end of the class. Debbie presented everything in a very professional way, and I was very pleased with even just getting hear her journey.

it was apparent, to me, that i needed more guidance with resolution (recovery) of 'the' grief. the program had been mentioned to me earlier in the year, and i was not "ready." then, i was. and thankfully, Michele was available to guide me! as a cerebral human, i liked having a book and 'course of study.' and, i questioned some verbiage and assignments; i needed to respect the program and do it 'my way.' i approached the 8 (infinity on it's side) weeks with intent, as well as a raw approach, as i needed it to be genuine and come from the heart, the challenge for me. while i may have known much of the 'psychology content' in the book, i enJOYed the reading of it, as well as the personal components from John & Russell; they helped guide the recovery, also. i was able to view people and experiences in life with new verbiage and/or perspective. the homework assignments allowed me to process and express the "i'm fine" baggage this mind-body & spirit have been carrying. i knew the person and experience that needed to be healed over the 8 weeks. i know the others persons and life experiences that need recovery, also. with this program assignments, i will be able to continue healing and recovering from collective and/or cumulative grief.

The program as provided tools for my tool box. Situations in life are often like pebbles in a pond creating many ripples. Positive or negative The tools I have acquired always me to enjoy and share the positive experiences more vibrantly and help me cope, express and process those that aren't. A life changer. My day bag is no longer 100lbs. And when situations or others try to add to my bag I have acquired tools to let them go as to not add the weight. It has changed my thought process about death and allowed me to correct feelings or work through them with others so there are no carried regrets Everyone should have the opportunity to experience such a life changing program

This program really helped me connect the dots and move forward in a very specific relationship as well as in other areas of my life where there has been a ton of unresolved grief. Without this program I would not have learned the appropriate way and tools to completely deal with grief and loss in my life. I have truly learned the tools it takes to get out of my emotional prisons I allowed myself to be stuck in for too long unnecessarily. As a result, I have already seen improvement in how I deal with difficult daily emotional situations and have already seen myself move forward emotionally.
