The Grief Recovery Method helped me come to terms with the unravelling of my marriage, the loss of the relationship with the person I thought I would spend my life with. It forced me to look at both the good and the bad aspects of my relationship through a commitment to total honesty. For the last year I have been very focused on villainizing my ex-spouse from a place of hurt, anger and grief. Through the relationship graph, I was able to look back and see that there were moments that were good in the relationship, and those needed to be acknowledged as a part of my healing journey. Writing the letter at the very end of the program was incredibly therapeutic, being able to say the things that I have maybe said to others about my relationship, but never had the opportunity to say to my ex-spouse. I am incredibly grateful that the Grief Recovery Method found me!

This program helped me recognize and work through the grief I was carrying with my relationship with my father. Completing this program was scary at first, but once I started, I found myself eager to work through it. This really is an amazing program and was incredibly helpful. I now find myself free from years of grief I was carrying with me. I would highly recommend this program.

The program made me aware of what unhealthy behaviours I was using to deal with my grief. After completing the program I have closure in my loss and tools to deal with other past losses. Working one on one was very powerful for me and gave me the support to move through a painful loss. I felt supported and heard. My facilitator was very supportive and caring and I appreciate her guidance.

It worked very well for me, the time was right. I could have gone a bit longer and I am glad I can book another session if required. I was a little skeptical a the beginning and wasn't sure that it would be helpful but as time went on I could see that it actually made a difference. I am glad that it was an update from the Kubler-Ross process that I was familiar with.

The program gave me the tools I needed to resolve the relationship with my dad who passed away several years ago. It gave me insight to see how I was carrying what happened in that relationship to all the other aspects of my life. It was a lightbulb moment for me. The work was challenging but definitely worth it. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders once I had completed the process. I am looking forward to and hopeful about resolving the other relationships in my life that I've been carrying so I can experience freedom and live my life to the fullest. Kathie was an excellent guide through the program. I am so grateful for her and the way she listened. She was a safe place for me through it all and I am incredibly thankful for her help.

I have carried the weight of my divorse for 20 years. I was finally able to have healing and completion. I already notice a huge difference from the first session till know. I learned that grief is not just for physical loss of a person but many different events or experiences we go through in life. I am looking forward to completing other losses, and relationships in my life.

I was able to let go of the pain and constant going over and over the relationship. I was able to see I did my best as a mom and that I never ever intended to hurt my child. I can now stop the constant going over and over how I went wrong. Now I can remember all the good times and I see they far out weighted the bad.

What we discussed during these four weeks makes sense but when you are in the midst of it, life feels heavy. I needed someone to articulate what I needed to do to support my child as their life drastically changed and the information was like a lightbulb. It's a no brainer what you should do, but reading it and discussing ideas and tools to inject into your parenting was exactly what I needed - not only for our situation but for the future as well.

The program has helped me learn and unlearn how to properly help my children with grief. It was extremely helpful and informative!

There was a lot of things that I already practiced without realizing it but I would say that there was tons of great questions to get me to my “why”/ also there were lots of good tools to help me narrow down my responses to Grief and loss which very much will help slowing down my unhealthy muscle memory habits
