Testimonials For CMA Medeiros
The program has helped me to let go of things that will never happen; I literally feel lighter in my body. I no longer feel like I'm trying to hold all of my emotions inside and the best part is now I have language and a way of expressing so that I don't hold on to more grief and losses.

The Program has given me a straightforward tool that I can use when any loss comes up. I love that I have the book and can refer back to it at any time. I will incorporate COMPASSIONATE WITNESSING into my life. I also am amazed that looking at my relationships, there are MANY good things that have occurred and I was focusing too much on the pain....It feels liberating to release some of this!!!

This program was suggested to me by my daughter. I think she thought I will benefit by taking it since I had lost my husband (her father). To please her, I registered but thinking I didn't need this program because I was feeling good. At least that is what I thought. I was lucky to have an excellent facilitator who explained step by step all the process for the grief recovery. It was amazing how your mind works, and Grief Recovery has provided me to think and discover all those emotions that they were buried inside myself. Now I have a tool that will help me to deal with my emotions for the rest of my life.

I first wondered how a program that is so structured could help with something as amorphous as grief. Yet I had no other ideas on what I could do to sort out my troubles. I had been in counseling and read widely on the matter of grief. The formulaic structure did make some sense to me so I signed on. I have been amazed at how well the process has worked! I started with my relationship with my father. Sixty plus years of loss and angst and grief has finally been eased, completed. I can see more clearly now and am grateful for the skills I learned. There are several more people that I will go through the process with and know it will help me unload the rocks I carry in my heart.

My wife of 50 years had just passed away 3 weeks before I started this series. I was extremely depressed, but the leader and my fellow classmates showed me that I should celebrate the time that I had had with her and that it was ok to have a great sadness , but that I could verbalize my saying goodbye to her but that her spirit would still be alive in my heart. It gave me peace of mind.

It allowed me to get in touch with my deep emotions and to move into forgiveness and also apologies for my mother, and have a sense of completion in my relationship with her. I am left with a feeling of peace, and only regret that it could not have happened while she was alive.

I have been able to make peace with the loss and grief of my parents passing. I became aware of some boulders, and plenty of rocks, that I was carrying in my backpack. I was able to put that weight down after many years. Having grasped the method, I will move on to other relationships and grief and plan to apply the things I have learned.My wonderful facilitator has assured me if future support is needed, she will be there for me.I love that.
