It helped me put to rest things in my life that bothered me from time to time. Even the loss of an old boyfriend

I started the program as supporter for my husband and realized very quickly that I needed this for ME. The program has made me realize how important it is to "complete" a relationship with someone you have lost. Even though writing the goodbye letter was the most agonizing thing I have ever done in my life, I realized after reading it out loud, it was a tremendous part of letting go of my pain of losing my son.

I would have benefited from a short personal interview with the facilitator before the 8 week program.

It has helped me recognize things that I do that might offend or hurt people without thinking about it and not doing it consciencly. I know how to act better so I can avoid those situations. Thank you team.

I was curious and had been looking for answers for a long time, this program gave me more than expected... Thank you.

I entered the Program apprehensive, and concerned that I would need to share personal information with a group of people. The setting and make-up of the Group was non-intimidating, encouraging and friendly. I soon felt comfortable and felt the progress doing assignments and exercises in each session, building skills and confidence. I felt safe and validated with partner sharing, and in group discussion. In 8 sessions, I feel I have the basic tools to apply to all grieving relationships and will continue to apply the principles learned in The Grief Recovery Method. Thank you for this opportunity.

I can honestly say, I have completed my pain around the lack of emotional availability that my family members unknowingly demonstrated. I will use the methods throughout many other relationships that I have. Thank you for such outstanding work!

I came to grief recovery class because of the loss of my adult son. After taking the class, sure, I still have sad days, days that I miss him, but I still feel so much more at peace.

I came as a professional curiosity. The work we did in the class made me realize that I had work to do to resolve family issues and situations from my past.

I was thoroughly impressed with the outcomes and learning that I experienced in this course. After reading the first couple of chapters I realized that this process was going to be personal, painful, emotional , challenging and rewarding. It was indeed all of that and I looked forward to each Monday night.. I am very glad I took the class, have already recommended it to others, and will look for opportunities to have this information shared with members of our church.

Although the farewell letter to my son was the most difficult correspondence I have ever written, I addressed some of the unfinished business between us. My husband delt with the loss in his own way, so the class provided a safe place for me to work through my own pain. The group members were kind and compassionate. The leader was good with all of us and communicated the concepts clearly. Overall it was a great experience, despite the reason we were meeting.

Participating in the program allowed me to identify and recognize my use of STERBS as a means of avoiding and confronting grief that was experienced. It also allowed me to adopt a different perspective regarding how to adjust my reaction as it relates to past and present relationships that have impacted me in life. I found it helpful to complete the Relationship Graph and to write the Completion Letter. It provided me with info regarding the different types of loss, which I had not taken into consideration. It provided me with some tools that can be used to address grief that may affect me in the future.

The program definitely opened "pandora's box" for me and things that I thought were far behind me and already dealt with were the underlying cause for other troubled areas in my life! Grief Recovery has provided me the tools to identify my griefs and allowed me to share and peel back all the layers I had created to what I thought was "moving on, closing the chapter, getting over it". I've also met a group of amazing people and will become lifelong friends!

It has opened my eyes on how we as a society do not know how to handle grief. I am more aware how to cope with death and loss and recovery
