The Grief Recovery Method helped me to work through some thoughts and feelings about my loss that I had not allowed to come to the surface. I am so glad that I did it and have grown tremendously as a result. I am grateful that this option exists as a way of addressing loss in a healthy and reflective manner.

It has helped me to look at loss in quite a different way and to look at the multiple ways in which loss can also be gain. I know myself better in that I have a strength that I didn't recognize before.

Grief is a long and winding road, and along the way certain people and experiences offer rest and encouragement. The Grief Recovery Method was one of these rest stops for me. Being able to talk about the pain and confusion that came with my loss allowed me to step outside of it for a moment and to breathe. The ideas presented and the work required gave back a little bit of control not over what happens in life, but over how I respond. The support of the facilitator and the other participants was both sweet and empowering. While my journey is far from finished, I am grateful for this program and the insights that I gained from it.

The Grief Recovery Method is amazing! Amazingly effective! I am doing extremely well , so much extra energy after completing, that i didnt know was tied up in old losses. So many little unfinished projects and repairs getting fixed after years of sort of being on hold. Including losing weight. (could it be just a coincidence?,...but nothing else changed....hmmm) So very grateful i found a grief recovery partner, listener. Thank you!

I was surprised that my friend recommended I take a class on grief when I confided my pain over a relationship in my life. However, I took her advice and signed up. I am glad I did. I found it helpful not only for that relationship, but in dealing with other losses in my life.

I came into the program thinking that I didn't have any unresolved grief or loss, but I learned that this Grief Recovery Method encompasses so much more than death or divorce. I realized that I was holding compacted painful feelings and experiences from my childhood, and that my relationship with a family member was still strained and suffering as a result of that loss of trust. This program encouraged me to consider and discuss those experiences, and to ultimately find a sense of completion in that relationship. I came away feeling a sense of lightness, as well feeling gratitude for the facilitators who listened to me and supported me through this process.

The system worked well for me. Despite the recent and still painful death of Mother I realized that the program helped me forgive and apologize to my Father and understand our relationship.

It has helped me recognize that the effects of my losses has hindered me for so many years. And it has helped me gain a perspective and understanding. And has helped me gain a better insight to begin my healing process. Thank you for bringing this group to VSP.
