The grief recovery method helped me to realize that grief is not only about death of a person. There are so many grief losses. I learned how to cope with my inner feelings and what was amazing, I learned what STERBS were to which I didn't know about. It has taught me that I can cry out and not have to worry about what others have to say. It gave me a safe space to be myself and not to be ashamed of who I am and what I was going through while grieving. I learned to forgive myself and everyone that I hurt, too. I really enjoyed the grief recovery specialists, they made me feel comfortable throughout the whole session. This method helped me to heal my broken-heart and to feel free and be able to move forward with my life. I will do it over and over again.

The program helped me realise how much emotional baggage I was still carrying around inside. It also taught me the skills needed to address loss and get through it, and put it to rest in a positive way. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE!!!!

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.

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.

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.
