I came into this program not really knowing what to expect, all I knew was that I had unresolved grief related to the death of my Nana 30 years ago and a lot of unresolved anger related to the loss of my closest friend because of a betrayal. I was very surprised that neither of these events were the first one I needed to deal with, instead it was my relationship with my Dad following my parents divorce 40 years ago. It's a very emotionally exhausting process to go back to specific events and remember/relive them in vivid detail, but it's incredibly powerful. The process that is detailed in the book and throughout the exercises is very impactful. As Kirsten said "it's simple, but it's not easy". I really feel that the work that I did, combined with Kirsten's support, has set me on a path where I can work through all of the grief events I've experienced in the past and any others that may come up in the future. I'm so grateful that I had to opportunity to participate in this group program. It's a game changer!

The Grief Recovery Method has been the most valuable program that I have completed to overcome losses that I have experienced in my life. Before starting the program, I was feeling sad, frustrated and unable to move on from the past. I had become isolated and hopeless. I did not know how to complete the many losses that I had experienced. In fact, I did not even acknowledge that there were many more losses that impacted me in my life. It was not until I completed my Loss History Graph that I understood the scope of unresloved grief that I had been burying all these years. My old way of being was to deny how these experiences made me feel and 'sweep them under the rug'. I only knew that I was supposed to be strong and move on after only a short period of emotion, to be expressed alone. I thought that was the 'right' thing to do. This program completely changed my life. The losses that I completed during the process no longer cause me pain or sadness when I reflect on them. It is like a burden has been lifted. I feel a sense of freedom and peace. I can see those losses as something I experienced and not who I am. I view them now with an appreciation for the contribution to my own growth and the gratitude for the wonderful moments that were a part of them. My deepest gratitude to my coach and program facilitator, Kirsten Frey. I could not imagine going through this process with anyone else. She made me feel so comfortable to share authentically and always created a space of love, listening and compassion. The tools she taught me to help me deal with grief and loss is the most valuable gift I have ever been given. Thank you Kirsten, for your coaching and continued support and most of all your commitment to my healing. You truly are a 'heart with ears'.
