Initially I was terrified to look so closely into my losses. But Candace and Mandy calmed my fears by being so open about their losses and so empathetic to everyone in our group. I will recommend this program to many people as I think it's very beneficial and healing. So grateful for this program.

Louise Boissonneault was exceptional. Until I met Louise I never realized that a person actually had to recover from grief. I looked forward to my sessions with Louise. I was a little sad when they ended. The grief recovery program is truly an exceptional program and through doing the exercises they helped me carry on. I look forward to take the Grief Recovery Specialist program myself. It truly is an outstanding program.

I went through a loss in a relationship recently. Misty Fields was recommended to talk to. I have never really reached out in the past so i figured to give it a try. We met for a couple days and only about 4 hours. She helped me get through some of the feelings and thoughts that i had, and recommended i read a book about moving on, and do the homework she gave me. So during the quarantine i did just that. It was tough reading and opening up, and brought up alot of feelings hidden away, not only from the loss but my life. I gotta say it helped me ALOT. I am feeling much better about myself and learned that help is there. I have recommended Misty to a couple other friends who could use the help i needed. Thank you Misty Fields and The Grief Recovery Method!

It has helped reduce the heaviness I felt towards certain people and situations in my life. It helped me learn how to look at the past as a whole and give me the tools to take charge and change/reframe/ complete my grief for items in the past and going forward.

I went into the program a bit unsure of what I expected to get out of it, but I do feel as though I've gained quite a lot. I learned a lot about grief/loss as well as helping others who are experiencing grief loss. I feel as though I've gained a skillset that I will most definitely use again in the (hopefully not too near) future.

This program provided me with invaluable support as I dealt with the untimely death of a parent. I feel that I was able to get in touch with my difficult emotions and give them the space and treatment needed in order to move forward in my life in a positive way despite a devastating loss. Some of the work seems minor at first but offers surprising depth and comfort when actually performed. I highly recommend seeing the process all the way through and giving every exercise the opportunity to help in your grieving process. And the group experience was surprisingly liberating as well.

I have been able to remember more good things about my mother. I have let go of a lot of anger about things we never discussed. I was able to forgive her for many things that happened from my childhood.

When I was at the lowest point in my life dealing with marital separation, health issues, and the death of a parent, a friend told me about the Grief Recovery Method program in Asheville, NC. Although the prospect of participating in a recovery group like this scared the crap out of me, I was so desperately depressed that I was willing to try anything to clean up the mess that was my life for both myself and my adult children. For me, this program was a huge step in the right direction for my new life journey and it gave me the tools to successfully deal with the grief I was experiencing. I am truly grateful for this experience and would recommend the program, and most certainly the program facilitator, to anyone dealing with issues of personal loss. Thank you.

I was surprised at how well I was able to process and complete my grief about losing my dad many years ago. I had no idea I was in an unprocessed state with that. The timeline really helped me to see that there were definite good memories I had of my dad instead of remembering only the negative ones. The end result - which surprised me! - was that I loved my dad!

The program helped me to make my life review, and permitted me to remember many events, that were important to me and my husband. I took this opportunity to work on those spots that were not touched before, because when you suffer a lost of a dear family member, a lot of cultural behaviours do not help you to face reality. It was a hard work, but Robin Suttin accompanied me with proffesionalism and compassion. I feel much better now, and I am looking forward to go on living my life with joy. I want to thank Robin and the whole Grief Recovery team! It was outstanding and 5 stars is my rating!

I can't express how thankful I am that this program was introduced to me and that I was able to participate in it. I had no idea how incredibly helpful and life-changing this book would be for me. In the beginning of the program, my first intention was to absorb as many helpful tools in order to help other people, but I didn't know that the program would assist me in knowing myself- along with my traumas in a much deeper way. The program is so well paced, clearly written, easy to understand and approachable. But at the very same time, this program is really only as great as the effort you put into it. The homework, specifically the relationship graph, was the turning point for me. This was a crucial step to experiencing freedom from bitterness and anger towards my grieved relationship. The method of total honesty was profound and how a bedevilment/enshrinement way of thinking, truly goes against being totally honest with yourself when it comes to thinking about an individual who has hurt you. Thank you to the authors and the team involved in creating this program. It's because of this program that I now find myself released of dishonesty, which has held me back in several ways in my life when it came to forgiveness and healing. I hope and pray more people will give more attention to the multifaceted topic of grief - something that touches us all. Everyone owes it to themselves to genuinely process their grief. Thank you, Jemima T. Comox Valley, BC, Canada.

The program has help me a lot just by the sharing with others, and listening to what others have to say also.. I don't cry every moment now .. but I do get my moments but not as frequently as before I started this program.
