I did not know what the program entailed, so it was not exactly what I was expecting. I did learn a lot about how to process grief and loss that I had never heard before. My favorite part was learning to be an active listener for those who have experienced grief.

I enrolled in the program following a year of every imaginable loss, and the program helped me to look at these losses in a healthy manner. Participating in this program gave me the tools to understand and work thru my feelings. I went from being overwhelmed to hopeful. I am so grateful for Emilia Munoz and this program for helping me regain control of my life.

As someone who tends to hold things in, I learned to open up to my grief recovery partner. This was a result of learning I was not alone in this, having a safe and confidential space, encouragement to take small steps in this direction (through the facilitator's example and weekly homework) and likewise being able to be there for my grief recovery partner. This in turn helped me let go of past hurts, as well as being able to see things from the other person's point of view.

I learned that I cannot change the behaviour of others, and that there are some experiences where I just have to say "I'm not going to let that hurt me anymore". I also learned to consider the other person's feelings or motivation at the time of the incident.

Я проходила програму відновлення скорботних двічі. Я пропрацьовувала стосунки які втратила через розлучення і через втрату близьких мені людей і проходила як онлайн так і офлайн. Для себе побачила гарний результат в тому що я змогла знайти неправдиві упередження яких змогла позбутися під час програми і відчуваю полегшення в своєму стані, в відчуттях своїх і в житті в цілому. Програма мотивує. От вперше після другого разу я відчула таке бажання пропрацьовувати ще більше тих стосунків які я втратила і дійсно я отримала мотивацію. Я відчула що це краще пропрацювати, добре над собою попрацювати декілька годин і потім мати легкість в житті чим ходити і носити каміння в своєму серці протягом свого життя. Дякую за те що була можливість пройти цю програму, доступна вона була для мене. Дякую організаторам.

I would love to say everything I said in the large paragraph I already wrote on the previous question but seeing as how I already have I will just leave it at that. Loved the class and I will be using the tools I learned for the rest of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It helped me discover a lot of myself, my grief and loss towards my parents. The assignment helped me to work on the unresolved issues in my life by writing it down and working on my loss history graph and relations graph. surely the techniques will help me to work on my other loss and grief that I have and learn to forgive the, and not to be bothered by it anymore. Thank you to our facilitator and co facilitator they are very patience, and I experienced their true care and empathy. they encourage me by letting me know that my feelings in different grief and loss were normal and its okay not to be okay.

Helped me really dig and confront my grief. I took this years ago but did not really do the work.

I learned much more about the grief process and how it is related to other losses in my life as well. I also feel like I now have other tools to deal with other kinds of losses in my life and how to utilize those tools to help me deal with both past and future losses I may incur.

Rikki and Sally were phenomenal in their approach. They treated us all with dignity and respect. As scared as I was to share my story I felt safe with this support group. I had no idea I could experience a completion to my unresolved grief until I signed up to learn about the Grief Recovery Method through Huron Hospice. I highly recommend this program.

This program is a complete game changer in the story of grief. It is easy to understand. It is clear. Most importantly it works. Feeling scared to get started is normal, its human, it hurts. The hardest part is starting. Thank you Ann Allen for being a source of hope and giving yourself to allow others to find themselves. you are a gentle leader with a heart of gold. I will always be grateful for this program allowing me to close the book on hurt and pain and be fully present in here and now.

This program was the perfect way to acknowledge that I've been going through a process of grief over losses that I had not realized about. Specially my health. The program has now opened the door for me to work on other losses I've experienced and this time do it on my own.

1. Put before me in concrete words & actions steps about which I had a vague sense of being required. 2. Still expanding my understanding and am communication with Jenny about the on-line "alumni" program. 3. Brought me to an understanding "WHY" I had no "USUAL" sadness about the death of my wife SUE.

I felt this program helped me with identifying feelings that I had not realized I was holding. I felt some relief of heaviness I carried after completing this course, I learned that this method of grief recovery has given me a tool to use in my daily life.

Overall, Very well although I don’t think the GRM book is culturally sensitive and should have a spiritual component. Also, I don’t think divorce and death belong in the same book.
