Testimonials For Helping Children With Loss
Helping Children With Loss04/08/2021
I work as a mental health navigator at a school district. My job is to support staff and families with mental health resources and connections to community supports, as well as , to provide training on areas involving mental health. As you are likely aware, therapists do not often receive specific training on how to help people process grief, especially children. There were many things that the Grief Recovery Method addressed in their Helping Children with Loss program that were extremely helpful to me in my own work with children in my part-time work as a child therapist, as well as, my work at the school district advising others on best practices to support children who are grieving. I think there is a huge gap in services for our children who suffer from divorce. I like the structured way the Helping Children with Loss program outlines a process for supporting children suffering loss. I will definitely be taking what I learned to my school and advocating for more staff to take this program, as well as, letting families/parents know about the adult grief workshops through the Grief Recovery Method. Our facilitator had tremendous passion for the transformative possibilities that the Grief Recovery Method offers and I am definitely sold.

I have walked away with deeper understanding of the types of losses that children can experience and how I am most able to help. There were a couple of areas of loss that I could not comprehend, where I wanted better understanding and compassion and this course has successfully achieved that.

The content of The course was definitely an eye-opener for me! The content is both comprehensive and teaches real practical skills. It became apparent grief can affect someone greatly in different ways, not only due to death of a close one, but loss in general, which is something I’d never thought of before. This course would be tremendously beneficial to Children, and should be part of the national curriculum.

Having a group of people that could also relate to my grief, of going through a unwanted divorce with kids, in their own process of grief was helpful. Having a facilitator that also shared from their own experience while supporting us through each of ours was very beneficial to my healing process. It made the group feel safe and strong, so that we could really work though our trauma.

The book described a different way to cope with loss than I'd ever heard about. For example, Discovery and Completion are an amazing way to look at loss. The Apologies, Forgiveness, Significant Emotional Statements, and Fond Memories are extremely helpful to help oneself and others to process uncommunicated feelings. The Emotional Energy Checklists are useful tools to help oneself or others put feelings into some sort of sequence and write a completion letter.

The program provided tools that helped me better understand the grieving process; I was able to help my son deliver, complete and say good-bye to his grandmother. Also, the information provided on myths and STERBs was eye-opening and truly helped me to be more intentional in how I speak about death and loss.

It was great to understand what to do when you are grieving or trying to deal with those types of situations. A checklist is a great tool for me to use not only with my kids but also with myself.
