Testimonials For Support Groups
I found the program helpful in the following ways: The sequential component parts of the GRM were helpful in expanding awareness of specific relational losses. It offered concepts and tools to think differently about grief (giving up expectation for a different past). I loved the existential nature of some of the tools (I am releasing the pain). And I thought the opportunity to work with another person in a safe and trusting interpersonal context was excellent.

I started to work on the death of my husband but then transitioned to the death of my mother which I never resolved. Filly Mazzone helped me work through all those details regarding my mothers death and I finished right before Mothers Day and it was a more peaceful mothers day for me. I was finally able to say good bye to her. Now we will continue to work on the death of my husband.

The program has given me tools to cope with grief that come from un-met expectations, whether the areas get better or remain the same. I've learned how to give voice to my feelings and know my truth matters. I'm committed to taking better care of myself and my emotions, without being overtaken by my emotions. If by chance an emotion overtakes me, and I now quickly revisit tools and releasing the weight from my backup of unmet expectations!

Very helpful in dealing with regret. Helpful to make the relationship graph and to make statements that are focused on growth but also healing.

The program helped me discover what was really bothering me for most of my life after the death of my wife. I discovered from reading the book and completing the loss graph, the majority of the grief I was carrying around from the way I was treated by my father in childhood. I first did the relationship graph and completion on my father. I felt a huge relief after that. Then I had a chance to do a relationship graph and completion letter to my wife. With that , I have felt better than I have since she died. I used to have to force myself to do things. Now I feel like I have started another chapter in my life. I have closure. A burden is off my shoulders.

At the conclusion of GRM group, I feel that I got the completion in my life that was missing, as described throughout the course. I put a close to open wounds that was unanswered. I now have the knowledge to be able to tackle any loss that comes my way and feel at peace with it.

I felt alone. I felt as though I were crazy. I didn't know my heartache was normal. I didn't know that it would be okay to feel my feelings and to talk about my heartache. This program made me knowledgeable about grief and how normal it is to feel what I am feeling. I know I will never be the me I was before losing my loved one, but I now know that it's normal to be this new version of me. It gave me a different perspective of dealing with grief. And I am forever grateful to have had this opportunity.

Before going to the recovery program I was really lost. I was dealing with my grief completely wrong and listening to the wrong crowd. After meeting Dr. Mobley and opening up to her, she really helped me deal with it and not judge me. She was a heart with ears the entire time and gave me the necessary feedback I needed and continue on and be a better mother for my kids.

The Grief Recovery Method helped me understand the warped view of loss that I had learned from society and that helped me understand why I was having such a hard time. Furthermore, the program helped me understand my specific loss better and provided me with a path to healing.

As I mentioned in a previous question, I have never felt as tho I could fully grieve my loved one or that I had to take a "back seat" to others grief. I also felt as tho I had to be the "strong one" and just carry on. This program taught me about some aspects of grief that I was not aware of (ie.the Sterbs) and it allowed for a safe place for me to grieve and to talk about my feelings, fears, etc.

I have struggled to deal with the grief of a broken marriage that also involved trauma. The programme helped me to think through my own background with grief and loss, what the losses were in this particular situation, to structure and express my feelings and in particular to express forgiveness, appreciation and apologies and, I believe, to "draw a line" under the situation to a large extent (I still see the relevant person within our community, but think that it will now be a lot easier to handle things). Thank you very much.

I felt much lighter when I first finished. I felt very motivated to begin working on completing other losses.

The program has been wonderful. It gave me a safe place to be completely honest about my pain and grief im going through due to my husband changing due to Motor Neurone disease. The program has helped me to accept and release grief as a natural part of life. I now have new tools to help me and my adult children. I’m so grateful . Thank you
