Testimonials For Saundra Hutchison
Saundra was a n excellent facilitator. Making sure that everyone felt seen and heard, while also helping us to stay focused on the goal. She also made herself available to anyone that needed to meet one on one, and thoughtfully sent messages on days that were significant for our grief journey. Saundra is a true gem.

I didn't find the myths at the beginning real relevant because they were not part of my story and how I'd been raised. It wasn't until we did the relationship and loss history graphs that I felt I was getting anywhere with the material. I shared this with Saundra, and she heard me, but encouraged me to hang with it. I was diligent with my homework, and she commented on that. The graphs made me remember things I'd forgotten and really allowed me to dig deeply which was very helpful. Saundra had implied that as we led up to the graphs, so it encouraged me to keep on. It was the right thing for me at the right time, and I especially liked doing it one-on-one with a facilitator instead of a group session.

The grief recovery program helped me work through emotions related to a broken family relationship in a way that almost seemed to bury old relational expectations. I believe this will free us to forge a new relationship -- almost like we are starting over.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate in the GRM. The program is effective in walking a person through each step of recovery with care and understanding. The book and the facilitator worked together to help me complete each step but the burden of the emotional work was 100% on me. This provided the structure I needed to keep moving forward in the process and at the same time kept me accountable to do the work to complete my own pain. This gives me a sense of control over my own emotional life. I did the work so I know that the process is complete. I am hopeful in applying the new things I've learned to other relationships and also to come back to the GRM for other losses. I love you. I miss you. Goodbye :)

I heard about GRM a few months after the death of my wife. It was a challenging course, but so very with the work and effort required. For me, this was very much a life altering process and study. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity and would highly recommend it to anyone walking through grief or loss.

It encouraged and enabled me to work on a relationship that I knew was strained, but never thought about the need to find completeness now, since my parent is still living. It did an excellent job helping me to realize the benefits of working on that relationship now.

This program allowed me to unpack my loss in a simple, straightforward way; layer by layer, week by week, I became more aware of my emotions, and felt like I was "made whole" in being coached and guided on how to organize and express those emotions to my amazing facilitator, who empathetically listened and supported me in my grief, truly hearing my heart and what I needed to say.
