It made me think about some situations. It also gave me some closure and peace at the end.

I did find the first 3-4 weeks quite slow, with all these rules I found opposing to my ideas of empathy and understanding. But as the weeks progressed I realized the first half of the course was setting the stage, teaching us new valuable ideas to not only deal with our grief, but also dealing with someone else's grief and what should and should not be said or done. By the last week and last exercise, the concept made much more sense and I appreciated how our Facilitator, Lorri, outlined weekly what to do, and lured us to come back to complete the process. I would recommend this, and even suggest it before someone ends up with a backpack full such as what I came in with. Thank you Lorri

Hit the mark for some things, missed on others. I hoped to find a way to rejoin the world but still wake up every day and go through the motions.

It has helped me to deal with grief in a much better way. By better understanding what grief is and how to process grief I’ve been able to deal with heavy situations in life in a much better way.

I’m enthusiastic about this method and believe all people should be aware.

It's not a miracle right away, also please do not expect it as a personal counseling session. If you are willing to develop a new mindset or stretch your mental power please embrace learning new methods. I highly recommend this course because our facilitators have built a great bridge and shared their personal examples of how they mastered the skill and apply it to their lives. Please do not be lazy, embrace your pain, seat next to it, and revisit your past hopefully with a renewed way!

I came into the program as an emotional stuffer. I left the program connected to my inner self. Everyone needs grief recovery training to deal with their stuff. I recommend it to all who want to be free of their burdens.

The layout of the program and the presentation provided help for me by reading, seeing and hearing first hand what others have gone through or are still working through issues. This was done respectfully, professionally and thoughtfully. This was not something thrown together at the last minute just because a program was needed. I needed this, in my time of loss, was respected, listened to and helped in the process. This came at the proper time. Thank you for your assistance in my recovery. God provides again and again.

The book was excellent. It does need to be rearranged for a better flow in reading and teaching, but we were told about this ahead of time. I will be sharing this book with others and have already recommended the class. The death of your only child is impossible to explain and cope with. Although we did this two months after his death, we felt strongly this would be the best path for us to go forward in order to honor our son's life and be able to honor our own journey. We loved that it was held at a church in a loving and supportive atmosphere. Each loss and grief experience is so unique, but being able to look into the eyes of another human and know that you "know" we are there to help each other through ... is essential. Valuiable and human.

This form needs work, I clicked outstanding but all stars were chosen. The class made is easy to break down my emotions in palatable sections, unpacking my emotions to figure out how I felt about my loss.

This program helped me understand that grief if a natural emotional response to any loss in my life. When I first started, I thought grief was just about death and I was taught a lot of misleading information about it, but everything I learned was helpful and will be a great way to apply in many different relationships in my life.

Being with others going through something similar made me feel not alone or feel embarrassed about how sad I was feeling. Writing the letter and reading it to my partner was the hardest/best part. The class gave me many good things to think about like STERBs and just that the emotions I am feeling are normal.

It helped provide much needed tools that I needed in order to process and deal with my Sister’s loss.

The GRM was definitely a surprise for me. I hesitantly went into it thinking this was just going to be another grieving session with lots of tears and tissues. This experience allowed me to reflect upon all of the things I've gone through in my life that have created the self image that I carry around with me. It was so helpful to focus on some of the most significant impacts in my life and to take a deep dive into the emotions surrounding those things. This class helped me to reexamine my lifelong relationship issues with my mother and to not only come to understand a lot of the whys behind the scenes, but to let go of a lot of the negative feelings that I had spent a lifetime sweeping under the rug. It was a very empowering course.

The 8 week program gave me the basic skills to begin grief recovery work. I still have much work to do, but at least now I have the "how" and can use the method to continue healing.

I feel better since I have went through the grief recovery program. I have found that I’ve given myself a voice for the loss that I’ve had… And I now have a process and dealing with grief as I move forward.

It was very helpful after experiencing a major job loss. I am so glad I found this program and instructor at this time in my life. It has helped get me through a lot of loss and sadness and trauma. The group leader and people were great in my class and the discussions were eye opening and insightful too. I loved it and am sorry to see it end, in fact! Thank you for a great program!
