In a few years there were several major losses in my life. Working through the GR method I was able to gain better understanding of the relationships, how to work thru to completion and the tools to complete all losses in the past and address present & future concerns effectively.

I acknowledged my divorce from many years ago as grief and the program helped me to close this chapter and feel that I am somewhat more free and able to find more peace in my life.

After completing this program I looked at things in a much different way. Becoming a processing Plant and not a holding tank for my emotions sets a great example for my child and teaches him to process his grief in a healthy way. I believe I am more compassionate towards others and recognizing that Not all grief looks the same but everyone feels it a 100%. I am so very grateful for Val.

I was able to identify areas of my life that have caused the grief I have been carrying for decades. I was given tools to get through the grief and leave that part of me behind.

I had approximately 2 years of therapy prior to going to grief recovery. The therapy was intense. It was extremely helpful however I still suffered greatly from guilt. This program was able to get me past that. I do still have moments of guilt but they pass and don't consume me like they used to. There is something so rewarding about taking the action for your own recovery that I didn't receive in one on one therapy. Scharain did an excellent job of walking us through this journey and her empathy makes her a natural leader in this field.

The program has helped me recover from unresolved grief issues from a family member's death. In each week of this program I learned many skills that I will use through the rest of my life. I have found peace with a huge loss and I will now work on others that I discovered while working through the program. Thank you, Grief Recovery Institute and the wonderful program facilitators I worked with in this amazing program.

I was able to connect with a side of my grief that I didn't know existed before this program. It worked wonders for my anxiety around my grief and helped me to come to terms with how I THOUGHT I should be feeling. It opened my eyes to be compassionate with others grief as well.

The Grief Recovery Method is truly an evidenced based program and I am forever grateful that I participated in the Group 8 week program. The tools and strategies that GRM provided were practical and I honestly wish I would have learned them earlier in my life. The GRM handbook also provided an excellent resource and guide throughout the program. GRM is a life changer if someone really really wants to recover and move on from loss/grief. It is deep and reflective work that actually makes a difference. One just has to believe in the GRM process and take the time to complete the work with a GRM Specialist alongside. You won't be disappointed!

My Outlook on life has changed, and for the better. I now notice many instances if unresolved grief and response to loss. I feel empowered with actually knowing what to do about it. There are 3 things I would add to the classes, and or GRM... to make the process more assessable to different learning styles and capability: a. In homework reading assignments, give several specific questions each representative of a different chunk of information that me the student/participant has to look for, even if we can't ir no time to read much on task, we learn from the targeted hunt. b. More visuals, although the book is really great, rich with headings and checklists. c. Corresponding resource or link to audio recording or podcast, and video (even YouTube) for 1 to 3 min vignette so later and between each class, I can hear what you are teaching. Thank you. Hoping to find more people who know ... GRM is a Godsend

This program was the beginning of me taking back my voice among my siblings and children. I truly have more confidence in speaking and allowing my opinion to be heard. My children have told me and texted me saying, they really see a big change in me and they are well pleased with my progress!
