The program has been a relieving work for me, beyond the death of my father which brought me to this program, i discovered may other losses/grief that needed completion. I looked forward to each class as it unfolded a new dimension each time, with very listening ears. Each heart work has exposed me to new dimensions of experience in this work. I can say boldly i have been helped. I am much better now than i was when my Dad just died.

The program worked for me and I plan on using again. I didn't realize how many rocks I was carrying around in my backpack.

The program has helped to reduce pain. I can at least talk about my late son without being intense pain.

I had a loss in my life of someone that is still around; the dissolution of a relationship. It has eaten at me for years. I have been able to complete the relationship and say and feel things that I have stuffed for a long time. It is so freeing! Being able to speak it with my group members was transformational! I am so thankful for Janelle and for this program for helping me and supporting me. It works!

It certainly resolved the many issues I had with a controlling parent in my life and helped me to understand her better so many years after her death.

The program has helped solve issues I have had for 20 years. Since my husbands' sudden death, he died on the way to the hospital in the ambulance.

It has helped me be a better listener. I’ve learned there are more types of grief than just someone dying. Don’t assume you know what someone is feeling and/or going through.
Support Groups06/14/2022
This program definitely helped me to better understand how people (myself included) process grief differently and how to be supportive of others in their grief by just being there for them but not assuming how they feel, or telling them how I think they should feel, or that I can understand what they are feeling. My faith has greatly helped me in processing any grief in my life but I haven’t had to deal with the losses that many people have had, and everyone’s faith life, faith journey, and beliefs are not the same; they are as different as the types and degrees of loss and grief that they experience. This program helped me to realize that, and I believe it would benefit others greatly as they try to come to terms with grief and loss in their life.

It helped me remember my entire relationship with the person that I was grieving about - both the fun times and the difficult times - and put some sense of closure in those not-so-happy moments during that relationship.

I would say this program has allowed me to successfully express my feelings and I have learned how to help people when they are grieving. I learned what not to do when someone is grieving. I have released years of hurt and pain. I realized losing my job, the death of a long-time co-worker, and the loss of a long-term relationship all around the same time took a toll on me. I am still a work in progress, however; I feel myself getting stronger every day.

Learned that I was already using many of the tools, but I have refined how I apply some of them.

Mary Ruth was amazing and held space for us beautifully, she created a safe space for us to share and be comfortable. As well as helped us understand the things that we all share emotionally and how to express them.
