I came to the program to help me move forward after the loss of my dad. Nothing I tried seemed to help. The Grief Recovery Method gave me the ability to truly deal with my loss and move ahead in life. Thank goodness for Dr. Beahm and her caring heart. The method works!

I was apprehensive when the program first began. I did not want to be digging up things that were in my past. However, as I made my Loss History Graph, I realized, I really needed to work through some of these loses in my life. I am very grateful for the organization of the program. I also enjoyed the emphasis of my responsibility--my healing was the reflection of how much effort I put into the GR program. THANK YOU. I cannot say this enough. Sharing my Completion Letter with my partner was very healing. I did not even know I needed to find/have healing through this GR program. However, I am very grateful for the opportunity to heal.

I entered the program thinking that I would use the information to deal with death as my life progressed. However, I ended up focusing on a lost relationship with a friend. I struggled for nearly a year trying to let go of the pain and hurt that I experienced and that I knew I caused. After writing the completion letter I feel like I have finally moved on. Saying "goodbye" was a great thing.

I feel much better and believe the program has helped me immensely. However, I am having trouble still completing my completion letter. This is the hardest for me.

I learned that I can take control of unfinished communications or pain from my past to move forward with my life, and not continue with misinformation and STERBS. The process was a lot of work, but it is meaningful.

It replaced my grief with hope after the first session. Made me stronger mentally and physically. Although I still miss my husband, my days are now spent in joy at having many wonderful years together. I appreciated the hours my facilitator talked we me in session. He provided me with guidance. I am happy again. I missed enjoying my life. Thank you for this wonderful program

The program worked for me personally and has enabled me to have important and educational conversations with others regarding grief and loss. It has given me more confidence to approach someone experiencing a significant loss.

help open up new area of grief... Had to search on new grief topics/avenue... Did many a graph in my life, but not one on my son accidental deaf... Has shown me to open up on 'can of thorns in my feet' Did a 'goodbye' letter, for my dad years ago, but had a friend help me with that as he replied as a father would. That was very helpful. Was really hard to do that for my son, as our relation was on a 'very low' scale after a divorce, and girlfriend was very cold towards me.

I feel it made me really think through the losses and sort them out and deal with them in an orderly well structured format. I had really thought this was just the way life would be. To find this course and be able to find the tools to deal with and move on from my grief is so amazing. I’m excited to take what I have learned and sort out some other difficult relationships in my life. Feeling excited about being free from stuff that has bothered me for years!!

The program is structured. There is a real purpose for it. It gives closure to very difficult emotional life experiences. I contribute my experience to not only well researched material but also to an amazing facilitator. Timothy Hess was clear,concise and very powerful in his delivery of the material. Timothy knows the pain and the process of grief. He carefully instructed and led us through the material. Again the program is GREAT and the Facilitator made it work! Thank you Grief Recovery and Timothy Hess!!!

I know myself and realize that I probably wouldn’t have done the work without a class to provide that accountability. Had already read the book on my own. We just finished a week ago, so I think I will need more time to evaluate how the program has worked for me.

As I said earlier, I’ve been through grief counseling and another grief group; they were very helpful during my first year; however after nearly five years my husband passed, there was still a lot of emptiness, regret, and anger even though I was moving on..someone new in my life and retirement...the anger persisted. GR really opened my eyes to the MANY losses in my life I never really dealt with and helped provid the breakthroughs and understanding the angers I was carrying in my back pocket making it difficult to have closure over his death...GR has given me hope as self forgiveness, forgiveness, and healing are now in progress.❤️ Outstanding!

It allowed me to bring feelings to surface that that I didn't know was there. It also made me realize major things that I always pushed aside.

It has helped me to learn how to find the missteps or disbelief in society as how you are to react to tragic events. It is OK to have sorrow and not feel guilty about it.
