I did not like some of the things we had to write about, but in the end, I really do feel better and more content with my life and looking forward to making the best I can out of my remaining years without my husband.

The process of building a timeline and identifying experiences ordered my thoughts. It was of immense help to do this with the facilitator and another participant. It is so easy to rationalize memories and discount feelings, but when I committed them to paper and saw the faces of the women with me as I talked about them, I realized how much I had pushed myself out of my life. This helped me finish communciations honestly, write a simple decent letter and forgive. The pay off is that immediately it changed my relationship with my mother to something less loaded with need. I also felt free to more adult conversations with my father, and grew a wonderful friendship with him. The grief I thought was attached to divorce was actually the pain of having a mother compete and discount me.

After completing the Letter to my mother, truly I felt that I have said goodbye to those pain in the past. Now even though I still remember them, it does not take over my mind as it used to. I didn't realize how incomplete that relationship was until I I went through the program.

This class really made me stop, think, and do the work necessary to heal from the inside out. The work was emotionally hard at times but well worth anything I needed to do to try and deal with my hurts and my grief. I appreciate the focus on the grief as I think many times we can label this as something else and really never heal. I’m very grateful to have read this book, been in my class and completed the process. I really loved the set up and the encouragement. Thank you.

The Grief Recovery Method was an absolute game changer for me. Crystal, my facilitator and now dear friend, helped me through my loss and grief of the death of my wife. With Crystal's help, as well as the program outline, I was able identify and address my loss and really come to terms with what I was dealing with. My quality of life has improved greatly. I'm in a better mood, I see things more positively and i'm no longer in the dark place that I was in when I first showed up for my sessions. Thank you so much!

At first, the method appeared too simple to be able to adequately address the depth of my loss. I found the process to be uncomfortable yet it brought about a profound shift in my life, particularly toward the last third of our meetings. I now feel that I have completion about this grief, and I am profoundly thankful.

Before committing to the program, I felt lost I had so many emotions and feelings that held me back everyday. Elva knew I could benefit from this program, and I am so greatful for it. I worked through alot of feeling from my past, all while making shocking realizations about my present and future. After the program my left completely changed, I had the courage to leave a toxic relationship and went back to school. Today, I am proud to say I am a nurse, I truly don't think I could have gotten here without Elva and this program!
