Testimonials For Support Groups
I was able to work through a ruptured relationship with a parent in the group. I subsequently went through on my own and worked through my ruptured relationship with my other parent. The structure is super clear and helpful. It really supported me in reflecting on the positive and negative aspects of the relationships and enabled to me to come to a place of completion with grief I've been carrying for decades.

Working through issues that have haunted me for years, have now been laid to rest. A very freeing experience. It was difficult to start with, not to say anything in our breakout room but soon saw the point of allowing the other person space and time to release what they had to say and also for myself. STERBS have become a watch phrase to ensure empathy of others and knowing they are grieving. I have since written other completion letters and found a peace within which previously I have wrestled with. The facilitator was excellent in the way they handled difficult situations and was empathetic when the need arose. Our sessions were online and week by week the facilitator would share how to use the technology in front of us! We had laughter, tears, virtual hugs and flowers given; all over zoom!

For years, I carried the pain of the loss of my Mother. I come from a home of abuse and with that come also much pain. That too revolved around my mom. She was no so much the abuser as she too was being abused, but as a child I never could understand why she did not protect me. Taking this course helped me to see that she did the best she knew to do given her circumstances. This course helped me to forgive, apologize, and acknowledge her in ways I would have never thougt before. This course gave me the tools required to heal and let go of pain that I have carried deep inside for many years. I will recommend this course to others becuase we all suffer from loss and grief.

I felt a weight lifted off of me. I added some information to my letter of completion that I had not been willing/able to express before. I believe it was the trust of the group was so supportive.

This program helped me identify where my grief was coming from so that I could deal with the grief. It helped me identify and understand my STERBs. It helped me to understand why I had so much anxiety around Thanksgiving. It helped me to identify the triggers that led to my depression and anxiety. The class helped me to let go of these burdens and be freed from them.

The programme has helped me reflect on all aspects of grief. It has supported me in working through my relationship with my mum who passed away over 20 years back and helped me to take action on items that had been left unsaid. Things that, while working through the programme, were clearly still weighing heavy and affecting everyday decisions. I feel I now have the tools and ongoing support to work through other losses that hold me back.

Since being first certified in GRM back in February of 2009, I have led GRM Groups in person. I've been taking advanced GRM certification to learn how to do GRM online 1 on 1 as well as learn 1 on 6 on a Zoom Platform. The purpose of taking the class and re-reading the GRM Recovery 20th Anniversary Edition was for a Grief to Grace Retreat Team to bond, to work on some personal issues using the GRM process. This afforded me to do further personal work from my Family of Origin and surprisingly to work on my relationship with my deceased Mother who died over 23 years ago. I also wanted to learn how the 1 on 6 GRM on Zoom works so I learned by observing Rosie Fox our facilitator, how she presented GRM, how she facilitated the program & how she used the Zoom platform in both large and small groups. Reading the 20th anniversary extended edition of GRM again was also very helpful. I can use GRM to further work on other relationships as well. I have the tools and skillset to do this. I have some further work to do in this area. Besides the personal learnings and insights gained, I found Rosie a very caring, compassionate and excellent facilitator. She also spent one on one time during the week helping me and other members of our group over the 8 weeks together. Rosie models well the language, content, and process of GRM.
