It helped me realize that saying good--bye to the pain of the loss of my husband would enable me to move forward without guilt.

How to consider what creates a sense of loss in ones personal life. Not what we have been told. Identifying how I processed grief. Working through unresolved closure. How to accomplish this on my path. My Goal for the process was to work myself back to being a whole me. This I opened up to and as with most projects ,I studies the information, I processed the information, I completed my homework each week. The home work sets the forward motion of each step to recovery. As I anticipated, at times it was very difficult and emotional. With this stated, the last evening my letter was much easier to read than I would have thought possible.Sweet!

The best part for me was the support from the others and knowing that I was not alone nor weird. Lisa, our facilitator helped me to be kind and good to myself.

I felt immediate relief after completing the program and will use this method to work through my other losses. I've got to empty that back pack I've been adding to over the years! The most important part to me was being able to find a way to organize my feelings so I can deal with the pain and move forward. The Grief Recovery Method did that for me. On a side note this has helped me learn what to say and not say to others in grief. I have been thanked several times over for my understanding.

I got a completely different view on grief and grieving. I think I will be able to be more objective when talking to people who are grieving.

The program helped me identify where I have been "stuck" for years. I was able to take the information given in addition to completing my homework to learn and grow as a person, mother, daughter and friend. Since this course, I have bought the book for 2 of my friends.

It's help me to move forward knowing that relationship may never mend. But I'm ok and I believe hearing myself tell the truth about my feelings lifted a burden for me

The program helped me to have a deep and intimate relationship with myself. It helped me to understand that all emotions are ok and to think about them and deal with them in a healthy way.

This program has revealed to me that I need to work on resolving issues originating from my childhood before I can truly complete my grieving process.

The program was thorough and I clearly understand how I can work through grief. It was also painful to do the loss history graph. The letter of completion was helpful, nut it was difficult to say goodbye to loved one. I do think loss of loved one takes time. So I think it is a misconception of the program to assume one has to say goodbye immediately

I have experienced relief from the daily, almost constant tears. I felt safe and respected in the support group. I didn't have to act "fine." It was a relief to be in the company of others who had some degree of understanding. I finally feel like there is nothing wrong with me. I have hope for my future. I can take a deep breath without feeling a tightness around my heart. I wish everyone could learn about grief and how to get complete with the losses of their past. I plan to continue to work on the other losses on my loss history graph. I can use the other members of my group as listeners. I know where to go from here.

This program enabled me to look at both past and current relationships/ events that I have been holding on - and allowing me to complete the “incomplete” emotions .

I have learned a lot of information about loss and grief and tools to hopefully fully recover someday. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t say I’m healed and still struggle, but I think it did lead to some improvement.

I appreciate being able to better understand the grieving process by studying "The Grief Recovery Method". I felt the Handbook was well written with helpful information, examples, and assignments to read, complete and share in a non threatening group discussion setting. Although I am still grieving the death of my spouse after 40 years of marriage, I feel like I have a better personal insight of myself and what is emotionally healthy and unhealthy with grieving in general. The "Grief Recovery Handbook" is an informative reference book that I will revisit many times.

My youngest son, 46 yrs old, committed suicide in my home. The loss was the deepest experience of death I have ever experienced. My husband died a few years ago from cancer. Going thru the dying process with him was so different, as I was expecting his death. I was not expecting the sudden death of my son. I was lost, in deep, deep emotional pain. I was willing to go to any length to get thru the pain. I did support groups, one on one counseling, and GRM. GRM was so strong in taking me thru the steps to work thru that pain. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I needed to face the feelings and do the (emotional) work so I could find peace in my life. Peace is what I found. I am so very, very grateful to GRM program. A few words re: our facilitator; Cindy Cook. Cindy was patient; totally supportive to each of us; if one of us had a particularly rough, painful week, Cindy was there for us. She was absolutely amazing!!!!! To get to begin to have some-type of normal life is such a gift. To get to pass on by going back to my volunteer work is a true miracle. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
