I was extremely disturbed about the loss of my Mom. Working with Jacqueline really helped me and I was able to function my everyday life much better.

I think the incomplete relationship with my father has deeply affected my whole life and my current relationships and choices. I needed to let all of that go before I could affect real and lasting change in my life and relationships. Through the Grief Recovery Method, I have realized some uncomfortable truths about my relationships and myself which need to be addressed. This program has given me the tools to do the hard work while giving myself grace. I am applying everything I have learned to all my greatest relationships.

I look at loss more broadly. I learned about my feelings that I have always kept tucked away. The graphs I completed and the apology/forgiveness/strong emotional statement was very powerful for me.

I must say, being a Pastor, I was a little concerned about how I would be perceived however I must say it was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

This was a very thorough program that really helped me bring some feelings to the surface that I was burying. I didn’t realize how much keeping things inside was impacting my health. It was so helpful to be around others who were non-judgemental and deal with some hurtful emotions I was keeping bottled up inside.

The program worked very well, because I learned how to use the Relationship graph to list the positive and negative experiences in my relationship, the Loss History Graph helped me list in chronological manner, my experiences and finally writing my letter to my father, listing, which contained my forgiveness, acknowledgments and my significant emotional statements, made me very emotional, but good at the same time and my good bye. I feel now that I can apply what I learned to other losses and situations. The book is excellent.

It was really incredible to learn the grief recovery process. I lost both of my parents back to back to covid a couple of months ago. It is easy to feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Being able to learn about common misconceptions, how to define words correctly, how to be honest with yourself - might sound simple but it really opened my eyes. It can be tough work to get through - but you will see that light and you will feel so much lighter if you put the work in that this program requires. Life is worth living to the fullest and working on being the best version of yourself and this program is an integral part of that process.

The program came to me just when I needed it! The small group and structure enabled me to safely express and experience my grief. I recommend this method for anyone who likes to use a proven method.

After many years of therapies, self-help groups, and personal enrichment, The Grief Recovery Method provided me with a different perspective and approach to work through losses in my life that were not related to losing someone physically (death). The method has allowed me to have more insight into patterns in relationships and my own tendencies in how I relate to others. This insight and the method have proven to be invaluable in honoring my experiences and feelings and allowing me to move forward with a new perspective.

The program with the facilitator was excellent. I loved the group structure which allowed us to work through various scenarios and points of view. I particularly appreciated the focus on emotions and compassion. It was a lot harder than just looking at the rational and intellectual aspects of grief, most often discussed in group discussions. I did not rate it outstanding because I did not go through a radical shift, and my pain was not raw and fresh.

I have been able to identify and work on relationship building with certain individuals as well as apply some of the techniques that have really worked and yes I have benefited from them. This class was the best thing that has happened for my life. Thank you all so much for putting together such eye opening ways of getting to the root of the issue instead of letting things compile on top of one another.
