I personally had multiple areas of grief. Doing the program helped me to focus on an important loss and work through this important loss.

My heart is lighter. I can see & accept myself while seeing what areas I want to grow in. I feel heard. This is huge for me. I can see where a lie originated and can change the current course of it. There is a truth that I hold & not fight against. I appreicate that this is not a blame game. Seeing & acknowleging hurts and saying goodbye to the pain offers so much healing; more than I could ever imagine. I feel more secure in my body. I want to use apply these tools in all aspects of my life. I want to teach my children.

My loss occurred after having recently moved from my hometown, away from my family and having quit my job, which I learned were also losses and had quite the bombardment effect in my life. We are getting ready to move again, and completing this course before leaving has really helped me be prepared to leave the area feeling free and clear and not at all resentful for the loss. I hope I can help my young son be prepared to leave and accept the change and newness that this move will bring.

HELPED ME COPE WITH THE LOSS OF MY SPOUSE

I’m able to see the wonderful parts of my relationship with my mother, and while I’m still grieving losing her to dementia, when I feel sad I’m not debilitated by it.

I experienced a sense of release from the burden of guilt due to my not caring for my parent as well as I should have. I was able to forgive my parent for the behaviors that caused me hurt as well. I learned principles that will help me and my loved ones in our losses. I was able to open up and share things with my small group that I have only shared with my spouse before--that was therapeutic. I also learned from others in the group, as they shared their losses. As a senior citizen who is a caregiver, I consider this class as a part of my self-care.

What I liked most was learning how to be an effective listener, how to deal with emotions in the moment to help prevent future incomplete emotional situations, and the grief recovery method. I feel like this is a skill everyone should have.

The Grief Recovery Method helped me understand the natural process of grief and released me from the shame I associated with my loss.

The program started very slowly which drove me nuts because I have done a lot of personal growth work. It all came together nicely with the timeline, relationship graph, emotional components, then letter.

The certification program was a very negative experience for me (see notes above), but the 8 week class was excellent :)

I really enjoyed the program. Even though heavy topics are discussed I felt supported and heard the entire time. I was never pushed to share more than what I was comfortable with. I really enjoyed the small groups. Completing the group with employees was comfortable as well.
