The Grief Recovery Method has absolutely transformed my life. I finally feel like I have a piece of myself back that I didn't even know was possible. I cannot thank the Grief Recovery Institute enough for creating this program!!

This course gave me the “language” for my pain and experiences which is a Gift in itself. To have someone hold your hand and guide you through the darkness of your life is Hope. To give them tools to continue on with life is Love.

I will write one and send one to you once I had write it down. My mother-in-law died last night so my somewhat brain scattered and sad. Thanks again

Sandi is an amazing instructor who knows just how to delicately hold space at all the right times. This is surely some of the hardest and also, some of the "worthiest" work you'll ever do. Thank you so much for providing such safety and support to walk through and process such difficult experiences. This has been transformational and life changing already!

I was a little hesitant at first taking the online training, but the team put it together so well. They created an environment of safety using this medium. They engaged well with us and presented information with clarity. I am so excited for this opportunity to serve with this international team. It's life changer! Thank you GRM team!

Upon completion of working The Grief Recovey method I knew I needed to do more with the program. However, I needed to finish other commitments - retire from coorperate healthcare and move to another state. Now, having completed the training, which was professional and heart felt all at once I am more convinced this is the right direction for me!

I have heard people talked about how they feel after finishing their GR, but I wouldn't have imagined being transformed. I came in not necessarily desparete, but more of yearning for professional help to analyze past hurts, and how not to feel crippled moving forward. Through my GR I figured I may not be able to erase my past, expectations of parents, hurts from loved ones, but it doesn't have to cripple me anymore. I learned to accept my mistakes, even if it's just 1%. Most importantly, I realized the importance of setting boundaries in a loving way. I am definitely a different person, and very grateful for all the tools acquired.

It is revolutionary to learn how to grieve. We were never taught it growing up. Consequentally, we end up carrying so much into our adult lives that affects every moment. I was so surprised at the ways i was carrying childhood grief in every aspect of my adult life. It was a weight hanging on every moment. This work has made it so that the past is truly in the past. I recommend it to everyone!

I had already done a lot of work on the loss so felt this course was a great supplement, but not the only thing I did to complete the loss and let go. Again, I thought Sandi was great and chose to continue working with her on another grief issue. So, this course is urging me to go deeper, which I like.
