Going through the program taught me to deal with my feelings of loss, rather than ignore them and move on with my life. I learned to forgive, but not forget.

The program really open my perspective into daily life and losses. Being told the same things when experiencing even the smallest loss has been draining and to be able to read that others have gone through the same thing has been relieving. I would say a lot of the activities and chapters have really forced me to examine my most important relationships and how I've dealt with them. Even when I didn't believe the activities would work they ended up being the most therapeutic activities I've ever done.

I learned more than I expected to through the GRM program. Not only are the practices and ways of thinking that I learned helping me to process both the lingering grief over the sudden death of my father and several other painful losses I need to complete, they are also making me inherently more aware of other people's pain and the myriad of losses that umbrella our lives as individuals, as a country, as a species. What's more, the small-group aspect of the work was immensely comforting. I can only hope that my listening, my channeling of my best heart-with-ears self, was as helpful for the small group as it was for me.

This program opened my eyes to the fact that I'd been bumping around blindly in a prison of incomplete grief, bumping into signs of grief like anger, denial, etc. But never knowing how to turn on the light to examine it, acknowledge it or even how to leave the prison. This program had given me a way to pause and look at the grief and trauma and loss without fear. I can take time to process and I can stop carrying it around or hide it away. I am grateful for Nina and for this action program.

I was able to come to the understanding and appreciation that my Dad was not all bad. Using the categories of apologies, acknowledgments, and forgiveness allowed me to see things more clearly.

I have completed my 2nd loss with the help of Cindy Cook. Cindy had an amazing ability to help bring to the surface what had been deeply immersed in me for so long. I didn’t realize initially that a 2nd loss would be in my future, but I see now how the layers of losses are intertwined. I was so inspired by the personal growth as a direct result of working through my 1st loss, that I chose to dig even deeper. I completed my 2nd loss around having been molested as a 4 year old little girl. I am so very grateful to Cindy. Her ability to provide a safe space for me to process what happened to me nearly 50 years ago has been priceless. I am aware today in a way that I have never been aware before. I have been repeating behaviors based in shame and guilt that I had no idea of. I am so very grateful to be free of more baggage that I have been carrying that was never mine to carry in the first place. I am looking forward to the possibility of working through a 3rd loss. I cannot describe the lightness I feel as a result of clearing of my container. I deserve to feel as happy and loved from within as I can be. Working through my 2nd loss has brought me to a whole other level of freedom.

I initially thought that grief was an emotional response to death or divorce. However, after becoming acquainted with the Grief Recovery Method, I've gained a better understanding of grief and that it is also inclusive of loss of trust and other close relationships, for example. I soon realized that my relationship with my mother has been in disrepair for years because of my meager coping mechanisms, which were undoubtedly unsuccessful. The Grief Recovery Method helped me uncover the pain and allowed me the opportunity to heal all while being able to reestablish a more fulfilling relationship with my mother. In particular, the program facilitator was outstanding, exhibiting exemplary skills in guiding the sessions and being accessible whenever needed.
