Testimonials For Support Groups
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.

When I first started the program, I was a little worried it was going to be like counseling. I was also concerned about how writing a letter, was going to help close a door. I already tried other alternatives. So the answer seemed kinda weak at first. To my surprise towards the end, it started to come together. Little things I didn't understand I needed to say, that helped the process. It felt like a rope coming unraveled for a min. Then all of a sudden it had some logic, or my understanding opened up. Then my rope helped me climb out of my hole. I will never forget... but My understanding, my will to move on. My ability to breathe it away. It has finally become a part of my healing. I recommend this program to someone ready, to start healing. I was very blessed to have a supportive partner during this process. Michelle went out of her way, to make sure I understood and gave me plenty of time, to work out my feelings. Thank you to the book, and an awesome partner I am now breathing, free.

Some personal pains and past traumas are so deep that they require the skill of a surgeon to remove initially. The Grief Recovery Method in the hands of my exceptionally gifted facilitator helped rid me of secret shames that hampered my life for decades. My healing is begun and I am so very grateful to have tools to use from here on out!

My dad had died 14 years ago, I was stuck with my grief. I tried so many things and nothing seemed to work. I called myself a professor griever, because whenever anyone died I would fall apart. I didn’t even know these people that had died. But I would grieve for them and the family members left behind, because I knew the gut wrenching pain that laid ahead was going to be like. This program has been a answer to years of prayers. It helped me dig really deep and help heal when I didn’t know how to do it. I love this program! It has helped me in so many ways!

I was able to begin using the skills learned in the GRM within the first two weeks of class. I noticed a difference in my ability to be with hard situations and feelings that quickly. By the end of class I could tell a difference physically in my body - lighter, more level headed, clearer thinking, less anxiety, less self-judgment. I have been waiting for something like this for a long, I just couldn’t figure what it was or how to get it. But Tina and the GRM provided the support and learning that I’d been longing for. I’m forever grateful and excited to continue the work!

learning about myths and STERBS and hearing the stories has helped me understand grief more. The steps for completion has already helped me help myself and others.

The Grief Recovery Method (for supporting grieving children) provided valuable stories, insights and a structured approach to offering support to children. The program provides a framework without losing the energetic human component of healing connection.

It was a positive experience for me. I wanted to deal with my grief but needed the proper tools and place to achieve the goal. I enjoyed the homework assignments spending time alone, sitting quietly to focus on each issue. It brought be comfort and peace.
