The program has changed my life! My view of loss, how to cope with loss, has completely changed. My understanding and compassion for others... can be one now that helps promote healing, simply from the tools I have gained going thru the program . I only viewed death as a loss. I now know loss comes in many forms and ways. I can recognize that now. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to heal in a loving , safe environment . My teacher was sooooo amazing! She has helped me face ugly truths and fears with a loveing hand guiding me along the way!! Thank you , thank you Rachel Jones! You and your class has changed my life forever.

I had just lost a relationship and the ability to see my daughter everyday when I found out about this program. It has allowed me to understanding forgiveness in a different light. It helped me open up my mind to understand that there are many different ways we grieve. Becoming aware of the ways made so much sense in understanding loss.

The program helped me to have a new understanding of dealing with grief. It has helped me to find ways to recovery which I use in my everyday life. I recommend this to everyone which has experienced loss.

No other grief group or counseling helped after losing my daughter. My therapist gave me the Grief Recovery Handbook. As I began reading I knew then I wasn't crazy. I reserved your Web site and found Ellen Monsees. I called and attended, the 8 week group. I went in to work on the loss of my daughter but soon found I had unresolved grief with my mother. The homework was emotionally difficult but the directions were very clear. Using the book and Ellen guidance was easy to follow. I am saving money to be trained. I wish to become one of your graduates and help others.

From an organizational prospective the program is very positive. This was revealed by a post feedback sheet from participants. The lack of hand function was problematic for some participants with reduced hand function. we had 100% participation over the duration of the program.

Learning what grief wasn’t was helpful. Learning the faux pas of what we say when dealing with grief was insightful. Loss isn’t just death, it’s any change positive or negative like graduating from college or having a baby. In graduation, you don’t go to that same campus you called home for so many years or see the people you see on a daily basis. In having a baby, you could grief the loss of it being just the two of you or the loss of getting sleep.

It was a perfect blend of teaching and class participating and work alone on our specific issues. It was a very safe place to do a very hard thing.

Эта программа изменила мою жизнь. Разделила её на до и после. Спустя 3.5 года я сама стала специалистом в этой программе т.к. результаты был настолько очевидные в хорошую сторону и в быстрый срок. Навык иметь дело с потерями всегда со мной. Я разобрала уже 15 значимых для меня отношений. И потери которые происходили уже после прохождения программы проживались более осознанно. Я благодарна Тэмми что привезла эту программу в Украину и многие люди теперь могут научится завершать болезненные отношения и приходить к тёплой грусти.

I've worked with Jinnie on 3 losses total and have found it invaluable. The grieving process is individual to each person, but the basics that the program forces you to think about are across the board very important. Again, I am grateful for the experience.
