I appreciated the detailed instruction to honestly look at all of life's losses and shift through to find relationships that have been left with things unsaid, and the confidential, "safe", atmosphere to get those things said out loud. I look at "change" differently now and I believe that this "method" will help me to process future loss in a fulfilling way. It has also taught me to say things to my loved ones NOW.

Opened up significant knowledge regarding grief recovery as it applied to multiple losses that invited this type of attention. Revealed aspects of three relationships that I had not understood before.

Today, the day after reading my completion letter, but before I have done any of the further work... I feel lighter. I feel like I can move on to the next steps, and I'm grateful for the group of women who went through this process with me, and the knowledge that we can continue to support each other going forward. I feel I have a new tool in my toolbox, and am anxious to do further relationship graphs and completion letters with other loss/grief events on my loss history graph. I'm excited to be moving in a positive direction, and grateful for The Grief Recovery Method for providing this road map to recovery.

Outstanding program. I walked away with so much knowledge especially not knowing that loss of a loved one is not the only reason one grieves.

I loved this program because it really explained what grief is and what grief is not. I learned about common grief misconceptions too. I learned that grief is all about total emotional honesty. I have acquired skills that will help me process other relationships in the future. I have a better understanding/self awareness of the things I do to avoid grief. I feel "better" after this 8 week course and that is the goal--to feel complete from any of the unresolved grief.

The program has helped me come to terms with some of the thoughts and feelings that I was having. I am still grieving, but feel better equipped to handle it.

It was a safe place to express the disappointments and hurts in my life. Very enlightening to know how I stifled my healing with the busyness of my life by throwing so many different sterbs. I’m better at recognizing the pain and rather ignore it and try to cover it up, I can face the truth about it and give myself a break. I also have more desire to love those around me while I can and not let my past hurts affect these relationships. I feel I can better help them with their pains by applying what I’ve learned in the grief recovery class.

I am finally letting go of the baggage that has held me down all of my adult life. I had quite a bit of resistance in doing so, but finally pulled the trigger on it. This is major stuff!

It was a good experience to go through, but I am not a fan of "catharsis" methods.

It worked for me because I didn't know how to feel or who to open up to. I always keep it inside and now the things I know I will change a lot when I get home. But this was great. I loved it and Bill was great too. Always there when he said he would be!

The Grief Recovery Method has helped mold my way of thinking in a way I can understand myself and those around me. It has helped me in how I approach situations within my work place, at home, with friends and family. Most importantly it has helped me understand and see the root of what and where STERBS started for me and has helped me understand why I react the way I do in situations I have recently gone through. The Grief Recovery Method has helped me complete an area in which I lost trust in parental guidance and I truthfully don't know where I would stand emotionally if I hadn't gone through this 8 week process. I have some more work to do but I also have a great mentor to help me through it. Thank you!

Has helped me deal with my mother’s dementia

The overall program provided great examples in the book and recovery steps. I think personally this is the open door I've needed for a very long time. Though I have much more to work through I finally feel ready to deal with it, little by little. I have a better understanding and foundation how to work through other grief moving forward.
