The Grief Recovery had a major impact on my healing process. I view the loss of a loved one in a completely different way. Prior to this class, it was difficult to complete tasks, near impossible to find enjoyment in my hobbies, and my family members were being pushed further away. I didn't like the person I was becoming; bed bound and lifeless. I owe many thanks to this program and my instructor! I have gained my life back, it wasn't easy, but with the knowledge and support I was given, I'm here to say, "I made it"! I made it through the misery of losing my partner and I found that light at the end of the tunnel.

This program changed my life! Completing the relationship with my mom allowed me to see her as a balanced human with both good and bad memories. I’m able to love on and miss her physically but no longer suffer in pain for the things I wish could have been different or better.

I think it is going to be very successful. I am not sure yet 100% but I think it's going to be highly beneficial to me. I think it is a little too early to tell.

We just finished our course last night, but in going through hours/days of avoidance of writing my completion letter I reached out to Ginny for support and guidance. After that meeting I wrote my completion letter and ended it with a sentence that I had no idea was going to come out on paper. It was not a thought I had during the course and somehow it ended up there. I completely broke down after finishing my letter but the next morning actually told a co-worker about it and talked about my loss without the pain and tears I have been feeling for 7 years. I'm hopeful that I have healed some of the pain of losing my Dad and can truly experience the joy in my lost hopes, dreams and expectations that he is missing. Ginny had told me how powerful this course can be and I have to say I think I am now a believer. This is really hard work...but so is grieving! I would recommend this course to anyone that has experienced a significant loss!

This program helped me understand what grief really is. I initially thought that grief only happened when someone dies. This program has helped me realize that grief can happen with any loss. I now have the tools that I didn't know I needed to work through each one of my losses.

I was able to voice previously unknown and unsaid emotions. I was able to recognize new patterns and connections in the relationship. I think I have a more realistic/true view of the relationship. And I have greater closure.

The Grief Recovery Method helped me identify the deep loss I was feeling over the loss of my son. He was diagnosed with a mental illness in his late 20s and really, he's not the boy I raised. I grieve the loss of him as I once knew him, our dreams for him and this workshop gave me the opportunity to focus on what I'm really feeling and why. I got to forgive, apologize and express my significant emotional statement to him. Also, there are other losses I've experienced over my life. I now know what to do with grief and how to work through it. I did learn a lot.

I knew I had some unresolved issues with my Dad and his death. I didn't know however, how much. This course pulled it all out and asked me to write it all down. I really needed to see it that way and let it go.

I wrote a lot in the comments section for my facilitator. The same sentiments remain -please see them. In sum, I feel connected and indebted to a soul who was willing to meet me in a stormy sea. Now I see a horizon, ground again. While I still have much to build back up after a lot of loss, I was able to share and have witness. I felt the way I was able to group the SES, forgiveness and apology “content” gave me authentic expression versus victim tonality. I wanted this to be the case. My facilitator was super and careful to not let me pick up further self deprecating layers which may be easy for an Empath to sometimes pull in (work in progress to be mindful about). She showed me care to the very final minutes of the cumulative work. For ex. I wanted to apologize for not loving myself more and we neatly, professionally worked on this and I’m so glad we did. It was a quick line I was confused to add in from my end, and she was perceptive and present to know this was important. It was confused on my end and I’m truly grateful she is who she is and allowed me that extra question time-space and guidance to listen to that urge. Grateful I had this guide and that the work is what it is, planned, contained and thorough.

I feel released by pulling out the thorns of my heart that had been aching for many years. From now on, I'll be able to feel happy enough.

It helped me take the tools that I already have in my proverbial toolbox and use them effectively.

I was surprised by how little I had thought about losses, especially the intangible losses in my life and the lives of others, even though upon reflection it was easy to see how they had affected and shaped me. I see this as the beginning of deeper biography work around more than losses. My loss chart provides a good 'backbone' upon which to expand recollection and reflection on life experience. I am very grateful to have found this method. Thank you for seeing your own processes and creating a map for others.

I have learned better how to cope with unresolved feelings dealing with the loss of my family members

Through this program I realized that I'm not alone or weird for being stuck in a loss. I was given proper tools to help me complete any loss that I'm dealing with now and how to deal with losses properly as they happen.

The program made my realize that grief is natural and unique to every individual. As a child I was told what generations before were informed!! There are no steps to grief it’s a process we work through to move on.

I learned new things on grief and how to find closure. These are things that I had never done before. I found a sense of relief upon completing the grief recovery on my dad. I look forward to put this to use on other losses that a in the way of causing me to live in the present. My facilitators are wonderful ladies, Darlene Remple and Jenifer Thom, not only did they teach us the tools we need but they showed humility, understanding, and compassion.
