Peggy really reminds me about my grandma as before we don’t get along well each other! I never thought about her even she passed away! This program let me re-think about what kind of person my Grandma was and I forgive her about what she did to me! I love her forever! Thank you Peggy!

Gave me a different perspective on grieving for my mother. Helped me process my loss in a more positive way. Wish this was how society as a whole looked at the grieving process. Thank you, Celynn!

GRM has given me skills to work through grief and freedom from the heavy emotions and guilt that I experienced.

The Grief Recovery Method released emotions that I did not realize I was holding on to. It helped me become aware that I had been taught from a young age to stuff or deny feelings. This process allowed me to forgive myself and others. I expected to have to work through many additional losses, but found that after having processed the first one that I more easily accepted the following losses. They lost their "sting" somehow. Admitting to myself that I had significant sadnesses in my life and seeing the pattern of them allowed me to address them with this process. I have felt lighter and more compassionate ever since. My family notices a change in me. I notice a change in myself. It jumped started my journey toward joy.

Five years following the death of my youngest son, Alex, I heard about the Grief Recovery Method from a friend who had participated in one of Mike's groups. When I walked into the first group, I was hopeful the experience would ease my grief, however, I didn't believe for a minute that recovery was possible. Well, my experience has made me a believer! Within the structure of this program and with the support of Mike and the other participants, I was able to let go of the suffering which was fueling my grief. I am now in Recovery! My family notices the difference and, for the first time, when the anniversary of Alex's death rolled around, I didn't get sick. In fact, I focused on the joy of his living rather than the tragedy of his death. Thank you to Mike Strick and the Grief Recovery Method! I have recommended the program to a number of people and am signed up to become a facilitator myself. Cathy

My son,Cody died in 2013. I grieved alone. I didn't want people to worry. After Karla class I was able to share my grief and talk not only to family members but strangers that had experienced loss. It helped me to open up and help myself and others.

Participating in this program allowed me to express feelings and emotions I had locked away, deep in my soul, since my son passed away, which had been 5 years, when I took the 8 week class. I didn't realize how bitter I was by holding on to those feelings. The bond created between myself and the wonderful group of ladies who participated in the program with me, is one that will never be broken. This class allowed me to move forward in my grief journey in a positive way, instead of continuing to drown in my unexpressed emotions, and the short term energy releasing behaviors really helped with my anxiety.

Help to put past thoughts and beliefs into perspective. Speaking outloud things which have long kept me sad and hurt where brought out and spoken, helping me to stop carrying it on daily life.

This along with another program I am currently working helped me resolve some resentment. I am now able to not live as a victim of my childhood.

It was so helpful to understand the myths. The weekly meetings and homework really helped me reach closure.
Support Groups05/05/2019Participant in Plano, Texas
The grief recovery program helped me face the reality of my loss, feelings that I had refused to face for years, and the chance of forgiveness where I thought there was none. It was the first time I had contemplated what life without chronic emotional pain would look like and it gave me the courage to hope for a better and more fulfilling life. The material not only helped me personally, but also helped me know how to better respond to my family, my friends, and my clients who experience life loss and transitions.

It did not really help me but I did witness others with positive results.
