The Grief Recovery Method is an outstanding tool for dealing with grief. I believe that everyone should be exposed to this information at their appropriate level.

I view this program as another 'tool' in my toolkit for recovering from losses, big and small, in my life, and I intend to use the skills I learned to complete other relationships where I have undelivered emotional statements.

The program has given me a method for addressing grief in the future of my life where I find I am stuck. The Grief Share approach for me has worked well in dealing with the death of my wife and led me to becoming a member of a Grief Share team. This 13 week approach works best for me because it is faith based and covers many of the areas needing to be address that leads a person from significant grief to joy. The groups consist of persons with like losses which helps in the process.

My wife died in August, 2022 and I was lost without her and desperately in search of help with my overwhelming grief and uncontrollable emotions. In November, I participated in a four hour session conducted by this same organization and same presenter. I received a glimpse of what I felt I needed but then had to wait until February, 2023 to participate in the eight week, in person, recovery program. The wait was nearly unbearable but worth it. This program identified areas and prompted thoughts that I would have never considered. Our presenter, Jeff O’Dell, was a very caring, understanding, experienced and capable leader as he took us through perhaps the single most devastating time and experience of our lives. My youngest daughter participated in this program along with me and I have a son and oldest daughter whom I’m going to strongly urge to participate in another session like this. I’m confident the time and effort would benefit them greatly. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in such a great and helpful program and I am grateful to Jeff for his caring dedication and leadership.

The program helped me be more aware of what my responsibilities are in my grief process and to help have the words to describe and share my feeling effectively to others as well as myself.

GRM opened my eyes to the grief I didn’t know I had experienced in my life. It also helped me walk through the relationship I had with the person I lost and complete the pain associated with it. I did not know what to do with the pain I was feeling before taking this class, and GRM was like a map to guide me through the grief. I still miss my loved one, but now the emotions I feel are more pure. There is nothing hiding behind them. I can feel them and move on.

The class let me let go of the life long feeling that I felt towards my father. I realize that dad was being supportive and understanding, and I was embarrassed that I had to repeat freshman year in college, and that he had to come and get me at school. I was embarrassed that I had failed.

Grateful for the all wisdom and guidance from a very amazing mentor and the ability to have a space to feel safe to share and learn the ability to trust and be vulnerable.

Overall very beneficial, I do think some of the material earlier in the book goes on for longer than necessary (myths, STERBS) and doesn't provide a ton of value. The later chapters (the loss history graph and on) are much more useful though, of course. Doing assignments, readings and meetings for all the earlier topics felt like a lot of effort for little payoff while waiting to get into the meatier stuff.

Given me a chance to deal with other griefs in my life. thanks

I’ve actually only checked outstanding, but all stars light up. In the beginning of the devastation of the loss of my husband, I knew I could not emotionally stay where I was. I had to understand why I was at the point I was and what was happening to my mind and emotions. The first night the floodgates opened and Vickie began to share the work that we all needed to do. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the class, the program, the facilitator, and the overall set up of this program. It’s not a magic pill, but it is definitely a step in the right direction of beginning the journey of living again, and realizing life can be lived again. I cannot recommend this program enough. Thank you.

I lost my son Andrew 30 months ago, then 2 months prior to start of my grief recovery I lost my second twin Adam to the same drug overdose, after Adam had been clean for 5 years, and had become a father and a very successful citizen. My other children had become estranged ever since Andrews death, and a lot of built up resentments had been consuming my daily thoughts, Tricia guided me through them in a way that I"am mentally disposing of them so I can proceed with a productive life style with my wife Leslie, and rid my daily anguish over their words and actions.I feel liberated and less anxious over thoughts of retaliation towards them. How to relinquish my thoughts of situations caused by the hostility aimed at me ,to stay positive and grieve for Adam & Andrew. To let go of negative thoughts. Tricia is a true Guardian Angel and this world is better off with her as a Grief Recovery Counselor. Tricia and her teachings are in my Heart & Soul for ever, God Bless Her and Pamela.
