I feel like I am better equipped to process grief and loss now. I've had a copy of the handbook for awhile, and this in-person program set up the structure I needed.

I am more understanding and compassionate with others who have had a loss. The program helped me to realize there are various types of loss. Divorce, death of a pet, etc. It helped me to share things of my past life that I don't share with others, knowing that what I shared remained in the group. The program is excellent for those who shy away from therapists.

Completely life changing I had lost my dad at a young age and had a lot of unresolved grief and this has been life changing for me and highly recommend it to anyone suffering from grief!

I thought it was helpful in walking through the clinical steps to a very logical view of grief and processing through it.

In my life experience I know enough to know that there are people who have spent time and resources thinking through and working out ways to solve difficult problems. And when I am faced with a difficult problem I know that whatever I'm thinking, and however I'm dealing with it, it's most likely an ineffective approach if it's not outright harmful. Grief Recovery has done the hard work developing the framework that effectively addresses recovering from grief. When I heard about the groups I understood that I had stumbled across foundational ideas that I needed to understand.

I have spent many years trying to work through some pretty intense trauma and loss that has happened in my life by going to traditional therapy. However, going to grief recovery has resulted in me making some huge breakthroughs in my healing process and even my therapist is impressed. She is so impressed that she recommends people to attend GR. I am so grateful to have the tools from GR and wish I knew about this a lot earlier in my life.

I have learned a lot about how to listen to others. The biggest impact for me is that for the first time I feel safe to actually cry and not stuff my feelings.

The grief recovery program helped me deal with and cope with the lack of mothering I recieved in my childhood as well as the lack continued into adulthood. I can now seperate who I am vs how I am treated by my mother. Those two are not the same! This helped me get clear on those seperations and in turn become a better mother.

I have gained much more clarity in my life and am able to be completely present with my family and friends! Through this program I’ve been able to set healthy boundaries with people that I’ve felt intimidated by before! I’m extremely grateful for this program and would highly recommend it to anyone! It’s totally worth the work!

I am forever changed. The program gives you invaluable tools to help you get thru this crazy life! Everyday is a new day, but also presents a possible loss- loss is inevitable and so everyone should prepare themselves for the future while helping heal the past. I can’t recommend the program enough, it is for everyone. I would LOVE to see this program at schools everywhere; the world would be a better place without a doubt!

It’s changed many things for me. My communication skills with my family. I’m more compassionate. I don’t feel alone. I realize it’s better to grieve and let it out then holding it back. I’ve learned to listen more without interrupting. I’m much closer with my daughter because we attended together, we bonded. I feel much lighter in my heart.

Helped me cope with grief that has lasted for 25 years of my life. I was able to dissect it and understand these feelings.

The GRM gave me a whole new way to approach grief. There are so many losses that someone can go through in their lives and I feel we were never properly educated or taught how to deal with these types of things. This program showed me many things I and many others have been doing wrong all these years, and even better a way to deal with them properly so they don't keep recurring and preventing forward movement and progress into feeling more complete in the future. I have already recommended this program and book to friends and family and just finished the course a week or so ago!!

This program gave me for the first time in my life a safe environment to explore my feelings of loss and grief without having to process other people's reactions, responses, approval, judgments or advice. I could face my truth. How powerful! The particular individual I chose as my first subject/relationship to work on was a pivotal influence in my life. I had gone around and around attempting to process our history, much as a loop to loop tape operates-- non-stop, eternally repeating. Once I had written the completion letter and read it to my assigned group, I felt this relationship was complete. When I think of this person now, I feel peace and gratitude for the whole of that relationship.

I took the class because, after 18 months past my divorce, I am still feeling fearful and full of pain. I tended to get surges of dull unidentifiable pain. I am very thought driven so needed to understand the situation, while in my head, I knew I was doing right, my emotions still bubbled up on me. The reason I embraced this method was that very fact. I was able to make lists of facts & then go back and look at how they made me feel and then finally deal with the underlying feelings I was not aware of or could not quite access. Then I was able to say good bye. The weight on my soul is lightened. I am free of the ghost of my ex-husband in condemnation of me. I am now the victor of my own life - no one else's.
