I really enjoyed it, I learned a lot and helped me to let it go of the past hurts and keep on with my life.

The definition of grief has a deeper meaning than just a loss of a love one.

I have never written a good bye letter and I feel like I am free from thoughts that I never could say outloud. I 10/10 recommend this to everyone, as everyone looses someone.

The Grief Recovery Method is a wonderful program. The presentation of this program method truly opened my eyes and my heart to a different way of healing. I have already recommended the program to other family and friends. I am very thankful that I participated in this program.

I am very grateful for the initial recommendation of the Grief Recovery Method book. I began to read it as soon as I received it. I also began to share what I was learning with others. We as a group decided to ask Fr. Peter Gelfer to be our facilitator which he agreed to do so. It has been a grate blessing. I have continued to use the tools he provided.

This was incredibly therapeutic and essential for my personal growth and healing.

The Grief Recovery Method helped me come to terms with the unravelling of my marriage, the loss of the relationship with the person I thought I would spend my life with. It forced me to look at both the good and the bad aspects of my relationship through a commitment to total honesty. For the last year I have been very focused on villainizing my ex-spouse from a place of hurt, anger and grief. Through the relationship graph, I was able to look back and see that there were moments that were good in the relationship, and those needed to be acknowledged as a part of my healing journey. Writing the letter at the very end of the program was incredibly therapeutic, being able to say the things that I have maybe said to others about my relationship, but never had the opportunity to say to my ex-spouse. I am incredibly grateful that the Grief Recovery Method found me!

This program helped me to look at grief and loss through a completely different lense. I saw that things I did not realize we're losses were tremendous losses. I plan on using the Grief Recovery Method to work through many other losses I have experienced.

I've been working on my personal growth since 2008. This programme was really helpful compared to the courses, reading and coaching I've done so far. The Grief Recovery Method helped me deal with some upsetting features of my life, that I couldn't before. Jess' empathy and listening, and her ability to speak into what I was feeling made it possible. I did this with an incredible group of people too. I'll never forget it.

I now have processes and methods to become complete with any relationship. I feel I have more work to do to get complete with the relationship with my Dad but I do have a way to work on it now. I would have liked the program to be a bit longer to help me get in the habit of completing relationships.

A very effective and efficient hands-on program that delivers tangible results.

the group setting was great for me because of my resistance to doing the homework. Sandy was very supportive & encouraging when I contacted her between classes to address that reluctance

I feel very fortunate to have found this program and I wholeheartedly believe that everyone would benefit from knowing the information and tools it makes available. There is a lot of misinformation about grief in our culture which leaves people feeling confused and conflicted when it comes to how to be and how to act around grief (whether our own or other people's). This program counterbalances the myths about grief and provides both clarity and emotional relief for people lucky enough to be able to participate. In addition, Jess is an outstanding and compassionate facilitator who I would trust to take anyone through this work with love and grace.

It just ended yesterday and I am still processing. Much improvement has occurred but there are still some leftover feelings of grief so I will have to continue the process in some way.

I had 1st come in 2001 to work the program on my late wife. I got to work with Russell Friedman and ended working on my Dad who was still alive. I went home and continued to work with a GRM counselor on my wife and on others. When my brother died I knew where to go. I hadn't done this in years and decided to reach out to the Institute. I chose Sandy b/c of availability and cost. She was so worth it.

The program helped me to think about things from my past that needed to be dealt with. There were many good things, like first day of school, scouts and other related happy memories and there was also sad or things I may have been sad or ungrateful about. I was able to look at them all and share these feelings with another very trusted group partner. Some emotions I had not shared with any body else.

The Grief Recovery Method provides an excellent step by step process to understanding loss and moving towards recovery. It helped me discover some things I needed to say in order to complete this process. It also helped me uncover some losses in my life that need more work.
