I found it very interesting that I came to the program regarding the passing of my Dad but ended up working on my Mom's passing instead. In addition, after I read my completion letter I felt I kind of release like I just let it all go. I haven't quite put my finger on it but it's good. The program made me aware of the need to go through the process for other grief situations in my life.

Worked very well but I'm still lonely which is an ongoing part of grief that I am trying to overcome with outreach programs to others less fortunate. Local senior center center classes are very good and many of the other seniors have been where I am. It helps a lot to be able to share with others who have been there.

It has helped me to be at peace with myself over my wife's passing, with no more guilt or anxieties.

It is rare in life that we truly have a safe space to process all of our feelings and truly be vulnerable. This grief group was truly a safe space and I am very grateful for that.

This program encourages me to explore all of my losses not just the loss of my spouse. It was emotional and eye opening for me.

GRM allowed me to view my situation from a different perspective. It allowed me to understand my situation and that though “ time” supposedly heals all wounds, that it’s actually the work that you put into it that heals you.

Program truly helped me deal with my loss.
Support Groups11/06/2019Participant in Moncton, New Brunswick
The program helped me deal more effectively with my loss than if I did nothing or joined another group. I learned to be a heart with two years. I learned that my friends, family, and acquaintances were getting tired of hearing about my loss and how I felt.And I was getting annoyed at what they were saying to me. I had a bond with the other women in the group. Will I ever see them again? Not likely as we didn't exchange phone numbers or email. And that is fine. It was a moment where we all felt a commonality. And then it was time to move on. The idea of an Alumni Group is appealing. I have one more very important loss to deal with and would like to do the process with other people using the Grief Recovery method. I also learned to be more effective when my friends and acquaintances experience loss in their lives. It would be great if everyone can have these lessons. Thanks

I have been through other group growth programs before--not necessarily grief recovery--and have also found them helpful. In particular, I am thinking of the Synanon program in the CA Bay Area during the late 1960s. It was very helpful for my growth. Also, being older and widely travelled has helped to develop personal growth of the type we are discussing here.

Participating in Grief Recovery was the hardest and best thing I have done for myself.

I thought that because I has intellectualized my mother's issues that caused her not to be there for me, and the fact that I had forgiven her; that I had done all that could be done here in this life. Writing the letter and saying good-bye made a significant difference. It enabled me to complete my communication to her and gave me a feeling of peace that I previously lacked.
